Tips

  • You can add herbs, spices, or garlic to create something your family will love.
  • You can make the dough weeks in advance and freeze it. If making in the morning for evening use, put it in the fridge and then bring to room temp to rise before rolling out.
  • Regular all-purpose flour can be used.
