3. After being kneaded (left) this dough probably won't double in size; instead it will simply become a bit puffy (right).
4. Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 500°F to 550°F (if your oven goes to 550°F) with a baking steel or stone inside.

Make sure your oven is at the required temperature for at least 30 minutes before baking, so the steel or stone can fully preheat. , Divide the dough in half.
