Tips to Make Bread Substitute

Make sure your water is hot but not boiling—this helps activate the flour without cooking it.
Experiment with different types of flour, such as whole wheat or gluten-free, for a unique flavor and texture.
If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more flour until you reach the desired consistency.

Variation

Add herbs, spices, or cheese to the dough for an extra burst of flavor! Ingredients like garlic powder, rosemary, or grated cheese can elevate your Bread Substitute wonderfully.
