Place the dough into a bowl and cover with a plastic bag or a piece of kitchen foil and set aside in a warm place for about 1 to 1½ hours or until the dough has doubled in size.
Pre-heat your oven and grill put baking tray in the oven to heat.
Knead dough again and divide into 7 equal balls.
Keep 6 of them covered while you work with the 7th.
