Cooking Tips

  • Use thick Greek yogurt: Thin yogurt will make the dough sticky. If needed, strain yogurt before using.
  • For extra protein: Add 1-2 tablespoons unflavored protein powder and increase yogurt slightly if needed.
  • Golden finish: Broil for 1-2 minutes at the end for extra browning.
  • Chewier texture: Replace ¼ cup of flour with bread flour.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container for 2-3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
