Critical Success Points

  • Achieving the correct hydration (≈64 % water to flour)
  • Kneading for at least 15 minutes to develop strong gluten
  • Windowpane test to confirm gluten development
  • Generous application of ghee‑oil during rolling and cooking
  • Avoiding overly thin rolling to keep layers intact

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil and skillet can cause burns – use mitts.
  • Do not leave the pan unattended on medium heat.
