Heat water to 110 degrees Fahrenheit (45 degrees Celsius).

Mix in active dry yeast and let sit for 10 minutes.

In a stand mixer bowl, add bread flour and kosher salt, and mix with a whisk.

Start mixer on low and slowly add yeast water, scraping sides if needed.

Mix on medium-low speed for 5 minutes.

Knead by hand for 2 minutes until smooth.

Form dough into a ball and place in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let sit for 20 minutes.

Cut dough into 8 equal pieces and flatten each into a triangle.

Fold the three points of each triangle into the middle and roll into a ball.

Join two balls together at the bottom and roll them out gently.

Coat the top surface with vegetable oil and cover with a towel for 10 minutes.

Dust a towel with flour and press a cylindrical object into each dough piece to form creases.

Lay each piece upside down into the towel and fold to maintain shape, cover for 30 minutes.

Place dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in an oven preheated to 410 degrees Fahrenheit (210 degrees Celsius) for 15 minutes with steam.

Create steam by placing a heat-resistant pan at the bottom of the oven and adding ice cubes before baking.
