# Expert Tips:
01 -
- They come out of the oven hot and flaky, with the kind of aroma that makes people drift in from other rooms.
- No matter how busy you are or how last-minute your gathering, these are reliably quick crowd-pleasers.
02 -
- If you rush rolling the dough, you’ll end up with uneven, messy bundles that bake unevenly.
- Brushing the tops with butter after baking can soften the crust, so always do it before for the perfect finish.
03 -
- Let the dough sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes before unrolling—it's less likely to tear.
- If a triangle rips, just pinch it back together; a rustic look is half the charm today.
