Pro Chef Tips

• Chill your dough: If you have time, let the rolled dough rest in the fridge for about 15 minutes before cutting it. This helps to develop flavor and texture.
• Experiment with seasonings: Feel free to add garlic powder, Italian herbs, or smoked paprika to elevate the flavor profile further.
