Whole Wheat Flatbread
The last couple years I've been making my Oatmeal Bread recipe for Unleavened Bread - just not using yeast and rolling it into 4 approximately 8-inch rounds to bake. It's soft and chewy and yummy. But, I still like the thin, crunchy stuff, so I make this too. I took some last night for Night to Be Observed and again today for the 1st Day of Unleavened Bread, and it was really popular. I find that it's hard to stop eating it.
Whole Wheat Flatbread
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 4 cups whole wheat flour
- 1-1/2 tsp. salt
- 3 T. butter
- 2 T. vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
- Mix salt and flour; cut softened butter into small pieces and cut into flour as for pastry.
- Mix oil and water and add to butter/flour mixture. Mix and knead lightly.
- Pinch of 1/3 cup of dough. Pat as thin as possible; then roll a little thinner with rolling pin. Flip and repeat as needed until dough is so thin it just holds together without breaking when handled.
- Place on ungreased baking sheet and mark into squares.
- Bake at 400° 8-12 minutes of until puffed and lightly browned; break apart and cool on a wire rack. Repeat with the rest of the dough.
I'm not sure I roll it quite that thin, but it is pretty thin. Also, I've found that baking this on a pizza pan works really well. That way you don't have to worry about whether or not it fits on your cookie sheet.
