- Combine all the ingredients along with the dough made from the previous night
- Knead until it smooth and forms a sourdough
- Let it rest for it to double in size
- Punch the dough and stretch it onto a baking sheet
- Shape the dough into a frog by cutting legs and eyes. One can also add ingredients like olives or dates or even berries for the eye of the frog
- Brush the frog-shaped dough with olive oil and sprinkle it with sea salt. Be sure to keep a check on the amount of sea salt since the dough itself has salt in it
- Let it rest for another 30 minutes allowing to rise some more
- Bake for 20 minutes at 200 degrees Celcius
