    Roll out most of the dough on a floured table into a round layer larger than the diameter of the mold so that you can make the sides.

22. Step 21:

    

    Cover the bottom of the mold with parchment, lubricate the walls with vegetable oil so that the finished cake can be easily removed. I have a shape diameter of 22 cm. Put the rolled dough into the mold, spread it on the bottom, form the sides.
