Notes

  • Flour: The amount of flour depends on your environment. For example, if you live in a very dry area, you may need more liquid; if in a humid area, less liquid or more flour is necessary. It's important not to overwork the dough.

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container for 1-2 days at room temperature or up to a week in the fridge.
