💭Tips

• Work quickly with thefathead doughas it can become more challenging to handle as it cools and solidifies. If it does start to stiffen up, place it back in the microwave for in 30 second intervals until soft enough to work with.
• Knead the dough until all ingredients are well combined and you have a uniform, smooth texture. This helps avoid a crumbly or uneven dough.
• Roll out your dough between twosheets of parchment paperto prevent it from sticking to the rolling pin or countertop.
• If desired, coat the dough with anegg washbefore baking and sprinkle withsesame seedsor everythingbagel seasoning.
