Quick Tips on Using Refrigerated Dough
- Always use chilled dough for best results.
- Make sure your bread fillings aren’t too wet. This could result in under-baked dough.
- For perfectly filled Mediterranean bread, keep an eye on your filling-to-dough ratio. Too much filling will cause the dough to puff up and lose shape during baking.
