The first is to introduce water gradually, to distribute it evenly.
The second is to roll out mainly flat sheets of a square shape, in one direction.
Third - after two turns under the rolling pin, let the layer lie for five minutes, then continue to roll perpendicular to the previous layer.
Fourth - after finishing the rolling of layers, be sure to send the workpiece to the refrigerator for several hours. Allow the molded product to cool / warm again before placing it in the oven.
Fifth - the temperature in the room where the cooking takes place should not be high. Housewives usually open windows or vents at home.
