# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You get that irresistible pull-apart bread experience without derailing your entire weeks carb count
  • The dough comes together in minutes and behaves surprisingly like real bread dough
02 -
  • The dough will feel extremely sticky but this is completely normal so do not be tempted to add more flour which will make them dense
  • Work quickly once the melted cheese mixture is ready because it becomes harder to handle as it cools down
03 -
  • If the dough tears while rolling just press it back together with your fingertips because it merges easily
  • Letting them cool for just 2 minutes after the final garlic butter brushing helps the topping set slightly so they are not messy to eat
