If matzah dough is too soft, may one add flour to stiffen it?
Synopsis
If dough is too soft, one should not add flour directly. Instead, one should make a separate stiff dough and blend it with the soft dough. Additionally, flour should be kept away from matzah sheets as it can adhere and cause leavening if the sheets are later cooked.
