Tips

 
  • In order your creation don't start tilting, use a wooden skewer to stabilize it.
  • You can warm the pitta bread a bit in a microwave to make it a bit softer.
  • Update : Artemis had the idea of replacing pitta bread with small size Arabic pitta bread so that you have thinner layers. In that case make more layers in each millefeuille.
