Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dough ahead of time?

What can I use instead of garlic powder?
If you don't have garlic powder on hand, you can use minced fresh garlic or garlic salt. Just remember to adjust the quantity according to your taste preference, as fresh garlic can be more potent.
