Method

  1. Knead a soft dough from the flour, water and salt. Cover and rest for 20 minutes.

  2. Divide into 6 pieces and roll each out as thinly as you can.

  3. Brush each sheet with melted butter, stack them, roll into a log and then coil it into a snail.

  4. Rest for 15 minutes, then stretch by hand into a round 1–1.5 cm thick.

  5. Bake at 220 °C for 25–30 minutes until golden (or in a tandoor).

Chef’s tip

The thinner you roll the sheets, the more layers you’ll get.
