Wet the dough with salty water, after gently stretch it evenly, working your way around the edges until it is as thin as you can get it without tearing it (keep wet your hands and the dough till stretching the dough).

​​(Optional if you want smaller loaves you can divide the dough in 2, 3, or 4). 
Sprinkle the 50 g pumpkin seeds on the top of the dough. Grab the lip of the dough at the bottom, pull it gently up, then fold it over onto the centre of the dough. Repeat with the right and left side of the dough, and repeat with the top of the dough. Once you fold it down, grab the bottom lip again and gently roll the dough right-side up. Cup your palms around the dough and rotate it against the counter to shape it up.
