["On the lowest speed, add the wet ingredients to the dry. Increase the speed one notch after the dough begins to come together, if needed, stop the machine to scrape the dough off the hook.", "Continue to mix until the dough is soft and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, this dough should be soft & pliable, without sticking to your hands - add more flour only if needed.", "Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface, knead a few times, form into a round, place back in the work bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size - about an hour.", "On a lightly floured counter, roll the dough to a rectangle 12 x 15.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
