   Timers: 15 min
6. Roll one piece of dough into a rectangle, using vegetable oil as needed, until it becomes very thin.
7. Brush it with melted butter and fold it into a square, brushing butter on each fold.
8. Set it aside, then roll out a second piece the same way. Before folding it, place the first square in the center, closed side down, and fold the dough over it, brushing butter on each fold.
9. Set the shaped dough aside to rest, and roll out the remaining pieces the same way.
10. In this way, we end up with 4 squares, each made from 2 pieces of dough together.
11. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and flatten each square to the size you want. Place them on the tray and brush the tops with egg mixed with vinegar or milk, or any other wash to help the tops brown.
12. Place the tray in a preheated oven at 200 degrees until the bottom is golden, then turn on the top heat and brown the top of the feteer meshaltet.
