- Preparation: 110 min
- Cooking: 10 min
- Makes: 1 serving (129 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Vegetarian

Ingredients
- 70 g Flour, plain
- 42 g Water, lukewarm
- 1 g Yeast, dried
- 0.3 g Salt
- 8 g Butter, to serve
- 8 g Brown sugar (cassonade), to serve
Method
- Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water, add it to the flour and salt and knead for 10 minutes to a smooth, supple dough.
- Cover and leave to rise for 1 hour, until doubled.
- Shape the dough into a ball, then flatten it with your hand and a rolling pin into a disc about 2 cm thick. Set it on a floured baking tray, dust with flour and leave to rise for 30 minutes.
- Heat the oven to its hottest, about 250 °C.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, just until risen and cooked through; the faluche should stay pale, almost white, with a soft crust.
- Wrap it in a clean tea towel for a few minutes to keep it soft, then split it while warm, spread with the butter and sprinkle with the brown sugar.
