7. Now the oven is ready. Pour hot water into a plate as shown in the picture and put the plate into the bottom of the oven.

Hot water has two functions. One is to keep the oven warm, which can speed up the fermentation of the dough. The other is to keep the moisture in the oven and prevent the surface of the dough from drying out.

8. Put the dough into the baking pan. Pay attention to apply some oil on the baking pan to prevent the dough from sticking to the baking pan. Put the baking pan into the oven for secondary fermentation.

9. The fermentation lasts about two hours. When the dough doubles in size, you can take out the baking sheet.
