Second, you need to add enough pepper water to the beef filling to stir it out to make the beef tender. Third, after rolling out the dough, divide it into tic-tac-toe shapes. Fourth, a thin layer of olive oil should be brushed on the dough to make the layers of the cake more distinct. Fifth, the electric baking pan or pan should be preheated to a high temperature. When searing, it must be changed to medium-low heat to slowly cook the meat inside. The temperature should be slightly higher before taking it out of the pan, so that the baked cake skin will be crispy and will not retain oil.
