 Pepper
 Salt with Espelette pepper

Prepare the dough. In a mixing bowl, place the flour, yeast, powdered milk, sugar, butter, salt, and warm water. Knead for 5 minutes, then cover with a damp cloth and let the dough rise until it doubles in size.

Punch down the dough, then roll it out on a floured work surface to form a large rectangle. Place the rectangle of dough on parchment paper.
