Comments
Unlike other NYT recipes that require the dough to rise/rest, this one doesn’t include that time at the top. You have to read through it to see the recipe is actually 2hrs, i.e. 30min prep and 90min resting/rising. That’s something that should be changed to ensure consistency and for anyone who doesn’t read entire recipes before selecting which to use.
