Start with 4 cups of bread flour (520 grams).

Add 1 large egg and 1 tsp of salt to the flour.

Instead of condensed milk, add 1 tbsp of honey.

Add 3 tbsp of melted butter (45 grams).

Pour in 1 1/4 cup of room temperature water (310 ml).

Use speed 1 to mix, then switch to speed 2 and knead for 10 minutes.

Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.

Knead the dough for another 10 minutes.

Lightly oil your hands to prevent sticking.

Divide the dough into 10 pieces, each weighing around 3.2 ounces (90 grams).

Form each piece into a ball by stretching and twisting the dough.

Lightly grease the container for the dough balls and cover with cling film.

Let the balls rest for a minimum of 4 hours at room temperature or freeze them.

Lightly oil your working surface, hands, and rolling pin.

Press the dough ball lightly and try to make a square.

Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough.

Stretch the dough with your hands to make it thinner.

Place shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the dough.

Add spring onion on top of the cheese.

Fold the dough over the cheese to the center gently.

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.

Peel the folded dough from the surface using your palms.

Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown on the bottom, then flip.

Cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

Remove from the pan and serve.
