    Yes, that would be helpful, especially if your dough is resistant to being rolled out.

    What can I substitute for flour?

    You could use a little bit of cornstarch or some wax paper. You just don't want the dough to stick to the rolling surface.

    What kills yeast, sugar or salt?
    Community Answer
    Salt will kill yeast. Yeast eats sugar to produce carbon dioxide and alcohol.

    Why does dough spring back after rolling?
    Community Answer
    If this happens, let the dough rest more before rolling, it allows the gluten network you just developed to rest and relax.
