- ✓Add 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum to your flour blend (0.4% by weight) to replace gluten's binding properties and prevent cracking during rolling.ingredient0.4% by weight
- ✓Rest the dough for minimum 2 hours instead of 30 minutes because gluten-free flours need extended hydration time to fully absorb moisture and become pliable.timing2 hours minimum
