  • Preparation: 25 min
  • Cooking: 30 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (52.3 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegan, Dairy-free
  • Contains: gluten

Ingredients

  • 12 g Barley flour
  • 12 g Flour, whole wheat
  • 6 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 22 g Water, boiling
  • 0.3 g Salt

Method

  1. Mix the barley flour, whole wheat flour, plain flour and salt in a bowl.
  2. Pour in the water, hot from the kettle, stir, then knead to a firm, smooth dough that no longer sticks, adding a little more flour if needed. Cover and leave it for 15 minutes.
  3. On a floured surface, roll the dough out as thin as you possibly can, almost see-through, into a round about 30 cm across, turning it often and dusting with flour; a grooved rolling pin helps.
  4. Heat a large dry griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Lift the round onto it and bake for 2-3 minutes per side, brushing off loose flour, until dry, firm and spotted light brown.
  5. Finish drying the bread in the oven at 100°C for 15-20 minutes, until it is completely crisp and snaps cleanly.
  6. Break into pieces and serve with soups, cured meat, fish or porridge. Kept dry in a tin, it lasts for weeks.
