Things I’ve Learned
The dough may be a little tacky, so use flour on your work surface to prevent sticking. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat by pan-frying for a couple of minutes or in a toaster oven. You can prepare the dough a day in advance and refrigerate it for easy assembly in the morning.
