Notes

  1. Sub 1/2 ripe banana or 1 flax egg (2 tbsp ground flax seeds and 1/4 water, mixed together)
  2. Dough should stick to itself well but not quite hold in a ball (refer to video for visual). Start with wetter dough and play with a ratio of water and flour, chilling for 5-10 minutes in between adding either and mixing to check for right consistency.
