-Once it doubled, knead the dough again, rolling it in and out with hands until it becomes soft. This to remove the aeration that has formed inside.
-Let it set for another 30 minutes.
-Pre heat the oven to 450'F
-Take out the dough after 30 mins, knead it well and spread as a thin layer on a Tava.
-Switch on the heat on low flame and heat for couple of minutes. This is to cook the bottom a little before baking it. Baking may bake the top well and bottom comes uncooked sometimes.
