      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.

    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.
