Cooking Tips

  • For a more intense flavor, you can add caraway seeds or sunflower seeds to the dough.
  • To achieve a thicker crust, you can create steam in the oven by placing a pan of hot water on the bottom rack while baking.
  • If you don't have a baking stone, you can use a baking sheet, but the crust may not be as crispy.
