## Equipment

- cookie sheet
- parchment paper
- cast iron skillet
- thermometer

## Tips

- To get more serious 'nooks', let the dough ferment overnight in the fridge.
- For uniform size, weigh out the dough balls.
- When cooking on a cast iron pan, ensure the pan is heated to 350°F to prevent burning before they are fully cooked.
- Check the internal temperature with a thermometer; it should be 200°F.
- Some people have found success cooking on a pan for a golden brown outside and then finishing in the oven.
