Notes

17/4/2023

Did 8 squares (4 spinach/feta, 4 lamb). Don't bother with spinach filling. Don' do square folds again, the dough is too thick on one side. Next time, do either a circle or semi-circle, but remember it needs to fit in the pan. That should mean you only have to cook 2 or 4 and will have one layer of dough on each side.
