FAQs

Yes, you can use regular yeast, but you’ll need to activate it first by dissolving it in warm water with a bit of sugar before adding it to the mixture.
2. Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough the night before, let it rise, and then refrigerate it. The next day, simply roll it out, fill it, and bake.
