  1. Very disappointed. The muffins are too sticky, bland and don’t resemble pizza at all.

  2. Disappointed. On written recipe its written 1 3/4 cups of flour. Already add this much to only see that in the video they added only 3/4 cups of flour 😵 hence making my dough soo consistant and not flowy at all!
