• Don't over do the baking ,that may result in burning of the bread
• The time frame is not suitable for all kinds of oven so,check the puffs so that they wont get burnt .
• You can cut the edges depending upon your taste ,but they really make the puff crispy
• You can add more flavor to these by adding meat of your favorite taste .
