Critical Success Points

  • Resting the dough (step 3) – essential for gluten relaxation.
  • Applying generous oil between layers (step 6) – creates flakiness.
  • Cooking on medium flame (step 8) – prevents burning and ensures layers puff.

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can splatter – use a splatter guard or keep a safe distance.
  • Handle the hot skillet with oven mitts to avoid burns.
