Notes

Have a question or looking for tips? The text written above the recipe is always a great first place to start! If it's not answered there, be sure to leave a comment and I'll get back as soon as possible.

I use Diamond Crystal coarse kosher salt in my recipes, if you use  Morton's kosher salt or fine salt you will likely need to decrease the amount of salt called for.
