Cooking tips 💡

  • If you don't have an oven, you can use a well-tempered air fryer for the same flaky, layered puff pastry texture.
  • Serving with a slice of watermelon perfectly evokes the nostalgic special meal feeling from school lunches.
  • A pro tip: if the dough becomes too soft, butter may leak excessively during heating, so it's best to work quickly with slightly chilled, firm dough and bake promptly.
