General Tips
Make sure that your work surface is floured properly before rolling out the Dough, Use your hand to rub the flour on the work surface to be sure that the surface is coated enough. The Spinach Dough (green Dough is a bit sticky) so you must flour the surface properly before working with it.
You can add 1 teaspoon of flour if the Dough is still sticky after Kneading or 1 teaspoon of Water if the Dough is still strong after Kneading. Always add gradually when it is necessary but you must knead your Dough properly to get the best result (watch Video)
Brushing the Bread with Soy Milk is optional but necessary if you'll love to create a shiny beautiful Bread with a delicious Crust.
