When you decide to use the dough, leave the dough in the fridge over night and follow the recipe as per the instructions. You will not be able to freeze the dough again if you choose to make the flatbreads this way.
If you wanted to make the flatbreads cooked, you can store in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container or freezer bag.
You can freeze the flatbread cooked on the day, once it’s left to cool at room temperature within 2 hours.

Large bowl - Definitely choose a stainless steel one - they are lighter than the stone or glass ones and very easy to clean.
