Especially since making it takes a minimal set of products: wheat flour, oil, eggs, salt. You'll pay less for a double batch of these than for a single pack of ready-made sheets. On top of that, you choose the flour yourself — wheat, rye, corn, oat — and the oil — olive, sunflower, soy. A third plus: you size the sheets to fit your own dish.

- while you work, remember that dough is a process, so think of something lovely or sing))
