Begin the cooking process and keep an eye on the chicken and shave the meat as it cooks (about every 10 - 15 minutes). The shawarma machine plays an important role in the cooking method because it helps the chicken cook evenly with control of heat and with special details that helps get the meat pole closer or farther away from the heat. Here is a video demonstrating the stacking of meat on a vertical broiler.

And while the machine is running on low, slowly drizzle the warm water in the flour until it starts forming into a dough, once the dough is formed, level up the speed and let the machine knead the dough for about 4-5 minutes.

Take out the dough and save in a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap. For best results let the dough rest for 24 hours to double in size before using.
