Recipe instructions are somewhat confusing.
Wheat flour is listed twice: 45g cooked wheat flour and 45g wheat flour.
How much water to use to make the cooked wheat flour, all 210mL? Then use 45g of that for the cooked wheat flour?
Does the recipes still need the other 45g wheat flour? At what step does the cook add it to the ingredients for the dough (skin)?
Hi Casey! Thank you for highlighting your concern, I’ve already updated the recipe and removed the extra wheat flour. For the cooked wheat flour, add 65ml boiling water to 45g wheat flour and get 45g from the final mixture to be added to your dough!
