Tips and measures

Ingredients

  • 4 cups flour
  • 1.5 cups warm water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 150 grams melted butter
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 200 grams Tulum cheese
  • 1 bunch finely chopped parsley

  2. Divide the rested dough into walnut-sized balls and roll each out to the size of a dessert plate.
  3. Stack the rolled dough pieces by brushing the melted butter and oil mixture between each layer.
  4. Roll out the stacked dough to fit your baking tray and place it in the tray.
  5. Spread the crumbled Tulum cheese and chopped parsley evenly in the middle layer.
  6. Cover with the remaining dough, slice into portions, and bake in a preheated 180°C oven until golden brown.

Make sure the butter is lukewarm while oiling the dough layers for extra crispiness.
