FAQs

Can I use other types of flour?
Yes, you can try substituting some of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour or bread flour for a different texture.

What can I do if my dough doesn’t rise?
If your dough doesn’t rise, check that your yeast is fresh. If the yeast is no longer active, it won’t produce the gas needed for the dough to rise.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate it after the first rise. Let it come to room temperature before rolling it out.
