If the dough is too sticky, you may have added too much water. Try adding a little more rice flour, one teaspoon at a time, while kneading. If it's too dry and crumbly, it needs more moisture. Dip your hands in warm water and continue kneading until it becomes smooth.
Excessive cracking usually means the dough is not kneaded enough or is too dry. Ensure you knead the dough for a full 5-7 minutes while it's warm. If it still cracks, your dough might need a bit more moisture. Alternatively, rolling between parchment paper can help hold it together.
It is best to make and use the dough immediately. Rice flour dough tends to dry out and become stiff if stored for a long time, making it difficult to roll.
Store leftover rotis wrapped in a clean cloth or aluminum foil in an airtight container. They can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm them on a tawa for a few seconds on each side.
