I definitely would bake this 20-30 minutes. The dough was still a little raw…other than that it was good

Most ovens vary a little when it comes to cooking but we’re so glad you enjoyed the recipe!

Hi Julie!
How would you use it with the pizza dough? My brain is not quite working right now as it’s sleep deprived .
Please forgive my poor brain.
Thanks!
Julie says
You will just have to manually cut the triangles out of the pizza dough. If you are using pizza dough from a can, I would cut it down the center so you have two rectangles and then cut the triangles from there.
