In today’s lab I made pitta ‘mpigliata, best described as italian cinnamon rolls. My lab partner Sabrina was out sick today so I did this recipe by myself. At first it was a little difficult and overwhelming since this recipe had two separate parts and overall seemed slightly more complicated than our other two labs. …
