Think about it: you’re taking a flat, flimsy sheet of dough and turning it into a pocket of joy that stays sealed under extreme heat. That’s basically magic. It’s also deeply meditative—once you get the hang of it, your hands just know what to do. You’ll be folding while watching a movie, and suddenly you have a tray of forty perfect rolls. Compare that to folding a fitted sheet, which is chaos. Egg rolls? They want to be folded right.

No one is timing you (except maybe a hungry cat).
