We wet a sheet of parchment paper under the tap while wrinkling it and place it in a 28 cm low Infinity saucepan .
Pour the dough into the pan, place it in the oven and remove the silicone handles.
We bake for 30 minutes. Once the time has passed, let it cool and place the typical cross of Santiago (download template here ).
