Kitchen Wisdom & Success Tips
- Make sure your mashed potatoes are free from lumps for a smoother dough.
- Don’t skip the resting time after cooking; it allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
- If you want to make it gluten-free, try an all-purpose gluten-free flour blend and adjust the water accordingly.
Flavor Variations & Adaptations
Feel free to get creative! Add shredded cheese for a cheesy flatbread or incorporate herbs like rosemary or thyme for an earthy flavor. You could also swap out the everything bagel seasoning for fresh herbs or different spices, making it entirely your own.
