The preparation

6 steps, about 37 minutes start to finish.

01

02
Knead until smooth and let rest
03

04
Roll up into a log, then coil into a spiral
05
Flatten and roll out again
06
Pan-fry in oil until golden and crispy on both sides

lightbulb The chef's notes

“Rolling the dough into a log and coiling it before flattening again is what builds the flaky layers, so don't shortcut that step. Let the dough rest so it rolls out thin without fighting you, and fry over good heat so the outside turns properly crisp.”
