The recipe is inaccurate. Once you knead, rollout and cut, you need to proof the rolls in the pan for 1 hour at room temperature lightly covered with a towel. Otherwise they will not batch bake in the cast iron pan and will be dry. The recipe also does not indicate dough thickness or size prior to spreading filling. Needs work! Read More
