Notes

8×8 pan: 3 cups mix and 6 Tbs water. Mix until combined (dough will seem too thick at first). Spread in a non-stick-sprayed 8×8 pan, rest 5 to 10 minutes while the oven preheats, bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes.
9×13 pan: 6 cups mix and 3/4 c. water. Same steps in a sprayed 9×13 pan; rest 5 to 10 minutes; bake at 350°F for 35 to 38 minutes.
Storage: mix keeps up to 6 weeks in the pantry.
