Critical Success Points

  • Chilling the dough for at least 1 hour 30 minutes to achieve proper texture.
  • Rolling the dough to a uniform 3–4 mm thickness to ensure even baking.
  • Applying two thin layers of glaze and allowing the first to set before the second.
  • Baking at the correct temperature and watching the colour closely to avoid over‑browning.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot baking sheet with oven mitts to avoid burns.
  • Raw egg yolk can carry salmonella; wash hands and utensils thoroughly after handling.
