And more tips

Take the best grades of flour and always sift it.

Be sure to try to adhere to the recipe and cooking technology.

Do you want to add water instead of milk to the dough? There is an opinion that the dough will turn out tastier, more elastic. Take the water so that it is warm.

The best temperature in the room and products with dishes is up to 17 degrees.

When rolling out, let the dough rest so that the layers do not break later, and put it in the refrigerator.

If you need a lot of dough, but you won't cook right away, freeze the leftovers.

The amount of sugar can be reduced if you use the dough for unsweetened baking (2 tbsp.l. is enough for 500 g of flour).

Fat should not be added in melted or frozen form – soften it slightly.

Do not forget about comfort – you should not rush anywhere, but give yourself only to this process!
