Critical Success Points

  • Sift the flours to avoid lumps
  • Knead the dough long enough (8‑10 min)
  • Observe the resting times (10‑15 min)
  • Roll the dough very thinly before folding
  • Very quick cooking (≈20 s per side) to retain the flakiness

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot oil carefully to avoid splatters.
  • Use gloves or a long handle to flip the flatbreads to prevent burns.
