Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough a day in advance. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate it. This allows the flavors to meld and makes it easier to roll out later.
What can I use if I don't have cream cheese?
If you don't have cream cheese, you can substitute it with ricotta cheese or a vegan cream cheese alternative. This will slightly alter the flavor and texture, but it will still work well.
How thick should I roll the dough?
Roll the dough to about 1/8 inch thick for the best results. This thickness allows the dough to cook evenly while still being tender and easy to bite into.
