Critical Success Points

  • Let the dough rise for 1 hour to achieve an airy texture
  • Marinate the meat for at least 30 minutes for tenderness and flavor
  • Secure the spit firmly with a cork to prevent it from sliding during cooking
  • Turn the meat every 5 minutes to ensure even cooking

Safety Warnings

  • Handle raw meat with separate utensils to avoid cross‑contamination
  • Be careful of hot surfaces of the oven (200 °C) and the skillet
  • If you use wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning
