  Once mixed thoroughly, pour in two cups of slightly warm water.

  Seal the bowl using plastic saran-type wrap and leave it in a place where the temperature will remain stable for 18 hours.

  When the dough is free, plop it down on the dusted surface and fold it into itself a few times. Dust the top of it with flour and then cover it with a cloth. Leave it for 90 minutes.
