Cooking Hacks: If you want to use kneaded dough for many days, then keep it fresh like this

Wheat flour rotis are eaten in every household in India. Round and soft thin wheat rotis taste delicious with everything from dal to vegetables. To make these rotis, the right amount of water is used in the flour. There is also an art of kneading dough. The better the dough is kneaded, the better the roti is. Soft and fluffy rotis taste better, but most women complain that kneaded dough becomes tight or dries up when kept. Then the rotis also become tight in the same way and do not puff up. Rotis made from stored kneaded dough are not made properly, in such a situation women knead only as much dough as is needed. But sometimes more dough is kneaded than required. In such a situation, flour has to be used, but there is also a worry that the roti will not be good. But by trying some simple tips, you can keep the kneaded dough fresh for a longer time, so that the rotis become soft. So let's know the tips to store the kneaded dough for a longer time.

Do not use too much water while kneading the dough
Whether the flour is more or less, keep in mind that avoid using too much water while kneading it. Try to knead good dough in less water. Too wet dough does not last long and gets spoiled. If the dough becomes too loose, add some dry flour to it and knead it.

Apply oil to the dough
While kneading the dough, definitely add some oil or ghee to it. By doing this, the roti remains soft for a longer time.

Use lukewarm water in the dough
Water is used while kneading the dough, but instead of normal water, you should use lukewarm water. This makes the dough soft. Apart from this, dough can also be kneaded with the help of milk.

Tips for storing kneaded flour
- If there is more dough left after kneading, people keep it in the fridge, but never keep the flour open in the fridge. Store the flour in an airtight container.
- While storing the flour, apply ghee or oil on it, then store it in an airtight container and store it in the fridge. This prevents it from spoiling.
- Cover the flour with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store it in an airtight container.
