I don't know about anyone else but 1/4 cu of water isn't enough! I'm wondering if this was a type o or if there was supposed to be another liquid ingredient? My dough is still is the fridge waiting to be rolled out so I can't comment ant further.

I was disappointed in this recipe. It had no taste and was extremely doughy. I do not recommend this to anyone. Sorry Tonkcats.
