General Notes:
- Self-rising flour substitute: For every 1 cup of self-rising flour, you can substitute it with 1 cup of all purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of baking powder and salt to taste.
- In case your dough (in any of these recipes) becomes too watery or sticky, just add in a little more self-rising flour and knead until it forms well.
- Make sure to always use plain and unflavoured Greek yogurt (low-fat, preferably), in all these recipes.
- While combing the Greek yogurt with the self-rising flour, always add in little by little and keep kneading as you go. This will help improve the elasticity of the dough.
