  • Cooking: 10 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (70.3 g)
  • Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

  • 25 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 15 g Rye flour
  • 25 g Water

  1. Mix the wheat and rye flours with the salt, add the lukewarm water and knead for 5 minutes into a smooth, firm dough. Cover and leave for 10 minutes.
  2. Divide it into pieces of about 65 g and roll each out on a floured surface into a thin round, 2-3 mm thick. Prick it all over with a fork.
  3. Heat a heavy, dry frying pan or griddle over medium-high heat (podpłomyki were baked on the hot floor of the bread oven, before the bread went in).

  5. Brush with butter while still hot and eat warm, on its own or with soup.
