KY, we're in agreement on this. If you were to fill a 4 foot tower 2/3 full to begin with, then added dirt to cover the seed potatoes, you could probably only add about 8 more inches of dirt before you'd compromise the stability of the...

Lecithin also works.

IMO, the flour doesn't make a heck of a lot of difference. Portion out the dough, cover with a towel or plastic wrap, and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before rolling on a lightly floured board. You'll be able to roll it as thin as you...
