To make the dough more chewy, add lemon juice.
If you add lemon juice to the flour dough, does it really get more chewy?
How does lemon juice work?

There's gluten in the flour.
This gluten is responsible for making the flour chewy.
If you add lemon juice and knead it, it strengthens gluten and becomes chewy.
I heard that adding oranges besides lemons has the same effect.
The reason is that vitamin C in lemons and oranges strengthens gluten in flour.
There is gluten-free flour that doesn't contain gluten.
If you use this, it won't get sticky even if you add lemon juice
Regular flour makes it more chewy.
