Q & A
Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes. Assemble the ring, cover, and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking.
Q: Can I freeze it?
Yes. Freeze baked or unbaked. Thaw overnight and bake/reheat until hot.
Q: Why is my dough oily or too soft?
Cheese was overheated. Let dough cool slightly, then knead until smooth.
Q: Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
Not recommended. Coconut flour absorbs much more moisture and will make the dough dry and crumbly.
Q: How do I keep the dough from sticking?
Lightly oil your hands or use parchment paper.
Q: Can I make it vegetarian?
Yes. Skip meats and add olives, mushrooms, or spinach (sauté and drain well).
Q: Best dipping sauce?
Sugar-free marinara, garlic butter, or ranch dressing.
