Steps

1

In a clean mixing bowl, sieve your flour.

Put salt and mix to a hard dough using cold water.
3

Knead well then transfer it to a floured working surface. Continue kneading till the dough is fine and hard unlike that of chapati or Mandazi.

Once ready, cover it and let it rest for 15 mins.
5

After that spread the dough using your hands then spread pastry margarine on top then cover that margarine with that dough and roll straight.
6

Make a single turn.
7

Roll it again straight and make a double turn. By straight i mean you like turn this dough then make this curve/ line at the centre to be on top. Hope am clear.

Note, while rolling, the dough should be straight.

After a double turn, keep it in the fridge for 30 mins.

After 30 mins, roll it again straight and make a final single turn then cover it and keep it in the fridge for 8 or more hours before using it. NOTE; You can as well use it immediately but am sorry it wunt be puffy.
