SWEDISH FLAT BREAD

Steps:

• Blend flours and salt together.
• Mix in sufficient water to bind into a dough- the quantity will depend on the types of flour used.
• Beat until the dough leaves the sides of the bowl, then turn on to a floured board and knead thoroughly.
• Heat a griddle or frying pan over a moderate heat and grease it.
• Divide the dough into four and roll out one quarter into a round as thin as possible.
• Using a plate about 20 cm (8 inch) wide, trim the edges into a neat circle.
• Prick all over to prevent the dough bubbling during cooking.
• Transfer to the griddle or frying pan and cook over a moderate heat for about 15 minutes or until slightly coloured, then turn and cook the other side.
• Repeat with the rest of the dough, working up the trimmings for re-rolling and baking.
• Cool on a wire tray.
