Fridge is one of the most essential things in our daily lifestyle. Be it summer or winter, our life seems incomplete without a fridge. Refrigerator is an essential tool to store and keep food fresh. Often we keep the remaining dough in the freeze so that it does not get tight or spoil. But many times it happens that we keep flour in the fridge in such a way that it turns black and gets spoiled. Just this much flour also gets fungus or starts turning black. In such a situation, we have brought some special tips for you, by which you can easily keep the spoiled flour soft for a long time.
Store the flour in an air tight container
Often the flour is kept in an open utensil but whenever you store the flour in the fridge, keep the flour in an air tight utensil only. You can do one more thing. You can also store the flour in aluminum foil or air tight container. This will not make the dough tight and the rotis will also remain soft.
knead the dough with lukewarm water
Whenever you knead the dough, use lukewarm water only, this will kill the bacteria present in the flour. Also it will remain soft for a long time. You can also keep it in the fridge. So that there will be no danger of fungus. If you knead the flour with lukewarm water, not only will the bacteria present in it die, but the dough will also remain soft.

Mix a pinch of salt in the flour
Whenever you make bread, add a pinch of salt to it so that it works as a natural preservative. Salt is used in many packaged food. If you are in a hurry in the morning, knead the dough and keep it in the fridge and add some salt to it. This will keep your roti soft throughout the day. This will not spoil your flour for a long time.
