Can you please help me figure out what I did wrong. I suspect it’s because I used bread flour. These still turned out very good but they didn’t look like Olive garden ones, which yours did, and they were crunchy on the bottom which Olive garden ones aren’t. I’m a new baker so I’m not very good at this. Thank you for the recipe and any tips.

Can you replace the olive oil with vegetable oil instead?
Chrysa says
We haven’t tried it with vegetable oil. You could give it a try – I would think it would work but maybe just slightly change the flavor.
TIa says
One quick question, 2 tablespoons or teaspoons of olive oil?
Thanks 🙂 Looking forward to making these
