Halving the recipe. Will try out some of my new toys on the dough. Non-stick rolling pin, mat, and even bought a rolling pin sleeve to test on the old rolling pin.

Sorry I couldn't get the recipe to work for me. Glad I halved the recipe.

You have four foodies that gave the recipe a 5-fork rating. Let me hear from those foodies. Maybe we can figure out what I did wrong.
