There is a lot of concern about food getting spoiled in summers. Many times people keep food in the fridge to prevent it from getting spoiled. But sometimes after keeping it in the fridge, food or other eatables become more dangerous. This includes kneaded flour as well.

If you keep kneaded dough in the fridge, it can be more dangerous in summers. That is why doctors recommend eating fresh food in summers. Kneading dough and keeping it in the fridge can be dangerous in summers, as it can increase the chances of bacteria and fungus in the dough. 

1. Possibility of bacteria and fungus

If you store flour in the refrigerator during summer, there is a possibility of bacteria and fungus growing in it. Bacteria and fungus can grow in this flour, which can spoil the flour and make it dangerous for your health.

2. Decrease in the quality of flour

If you knead the dough and keep it in the fridge, then obviously the dough will not remain the same as before. Kneading the dough and keeping it in the fridge reduces the quality of the flour. Due to which the dough can become hard and tough. This is the reason why the rotis made from this dough also become hard and tasteless. 

3. Nutrients get depleted 

If you knead the dough and keep it in the fridge for a long time, then the nutrients in it get lost. By kneading the dough and keeping it in the fridge, the nutrients present in the flour get reduced. When you eat the roti, it is not so nutritious. Due to which the flour can be less nutritious for your health.

4. There is a change in taste 

The taste of the dough changes when you knead it and keep it in the fridge. While the roti made from fresh dough is very soft and light, the roti made from the dough kept in the fridge tastes a little sour and is tight to eat.

Instead of kneading the dough and storing it in the refrigerator, you can try kneading the dough fresh or just letting the dough sit at room temperature for a little while. Keeping the dough in the refrigerator for several hours can ruin its taste.
