Critical Success Points

  • Achieving the correct dough consistency (soft but not sticky).
  • Resting the dough long enough for easy rolling.
  • Rolling the dough to the proper thinness – too thick won’t cook, too thin will tear.
  • Sealing the pastry edges tightly to prevent filling leakage.
  • Cooking at the right temperature so the pastry becomes crispy without burning.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot oil with care – avoid splatter and keep a lid nearby.
  • Use a sharp knife when cutting and shaping dough to prevent slips.
