Notes

Cooking Tips:
  • Chill dough for 5–10 minutes if too sticky to roll.
  • Use parchment or silicone mat to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
  • Add extra protein by using a thicker layer of protein-packed nut butter under the jam.
  • Store in an airtight container up to 4 days, or freeze for longer shelf life.
  • Reheat in toaster oven or microwave.
