Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding minced garlic or fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to the dough. If you don't have Parmesan, you can substitute with Pecorino Romano or a blend of Italian cheeses. To ensure even baking, rotate the pans halfway through the baking time. This recipe can be easily doubled or halved, depending on your needs.
