I'm not sure what went wrong, but my Torcetti turned out really flat. I think I might have over-proofed them.

These Torcetti were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The Torcetti were too dense and chewy for my taste.

I've tried this recipe several times and I can never seem to get the Torcetti to rise properly. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

These Torcetti were a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll add some extra butter next time.
