Oh boy! Do you mind sharing where your stainless olive oil container/pourer is from that you had in the video on insta? I wonder what it would taste like made with sesame oil instead of olive oil and no rosemary. I love your site! SO delicious, and it looks so easy! Im with you Kiki. Im getting ideas here! Also, I cook mine on my baking stone and the dough often bubbles in places making them extra crumbly and messy when you crack them. Its so flaky and crisp and made of pure awesomeness. This is definitely an excellent, simple recipe to have around. Got all of them on at the same time. But in a word: dont! Really eye-opening and inspiring.
