Notes
- Fresh Ingredients: Always use fresh flour, yeast, and oil for the best results.
- Let the Dough Rest: Allow the dough to sit for about 30 minutes to make it fluffy and let the flavours blend.
- Be Creative: Experiment by adding herbs, cheese, or even a pinch of paprika to give your Ustipci a unique twist.
