- 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
- Mix the barley flour, whole wheat flour, plain flour and salt in a bowl.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Finish drying the bread in the oven at 100°C for 15-20 minutes, until it is completely crisp and snaps cleanly.
- Break into pieces and serve with soups, cured meat, fish or porridge. Kept dry in a tin, it lasts for weeks.
