- get the dough, shape a bit and split into 30g small doughs
- use the roller to roll each piece into a round shape 2mm thick(tip: try to roll more on the edge, keep the center a bit thick)
- brush oil on each side of the piece, especially on the edge
- stack 4–6 pieces on top of each other, and roll more to make them thinner, same tip as before, try to leave the middle a little bit thicker than the edge, so later it is easier to split them
- prepare a steamer with boiled water, put a wet fabric on the rack or brush oil on top
