  1. Hi, can I check with you, if I over knead the dough, will it just become apart and then cause me having to add more oil?
    Coz I tried making it. Then no matter how I knead it, it still seem dry and then to fall apart instead of becoming a nice dough :(

  2. Inglee....yes overknead will cause the dough to become too crumbly. Slowly add in tbsp of oil to make it a soft dough cos sometimes the humidity of the flour also plays a part.
