Yes I did use all of the water. The corn flour + 400 ml of boiling water, which barely hydrated the corn flour but I really kneaded it well. Then the 300 ml warm water but the dough was very dry. Even with very little AP flour added. I will try again and add more water. Thank you for your quick reply, I just wanted to make sure that the quantities were all correct. I got very excited to see this broa recipe with rye flour! I remember this tangyer, darker broa from my youth!

May I check the boiling and warm water quantities with you? I followed the recipe but the dough turned out very very dry - I only added 1/3rd of the all purpose flour. Thanks in advance for your reply back.
