1-2 Kissabel®️apples, thinly sliced

Method:
Place dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Add water and mix until a dough is formed.
On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 8 minutes until smooth with a little bounce to it. Place in the same bowl, drizzle with olive oil and cover. Allow to proof somewhere warm for 1 hour (until risen double in size).
