Flatbrød

[vestlenning]

Me and the missus just finished this years Yule "flatbrød" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatbrød ). Ours are made from whole and white wheat flour, water and milk. Pieces of dough are made into thin disks using a rolling pin and then baked in a frying pan.

I learned this craft from my mother, who learned it from her mother and so on. They made disks about 50-60 cm in diameter, but my skills are not there yet, hence the frying pan size.

This kind of "flatbrød" is sprinkled with water before serving and are soft like tortilla when you eat it.

Those would go down a treat around the camp fire.

Especially with a pot of Gin Gang Goo!

Those look pretty darn nice, loops like you can churn out large amounts in short order too if needs be. I like things like this that can save on using cuttlery. I know these are flatbrod but can you also make those big wheel like krispbrod with the hole at the centre? They don't travel well due to their friable nature but taste great.
Cheers for sharing and I.hope you don't mind if I well and truly pinch the recipe?

You just have to go through more detail here!!! I love the idea of cooking your own flat bread and it's a treat with so many dishes.

The recipe is simple: Equal parts water and milk, add whole and white wheat flour to taste till you've got a dough suitable for rolling.

Use plenty of white wheat flour when rolling. A rolling pin with checkered surface works better then a smooth one.

I was watching The Hairy Bikers Northern Exposure trip on Iplayer the other day and they were using those very cool knobbly rolling pins to make various breads & krispbrods looks a lot easier than the sheet of formed plastic that I press into service when I've tried in the past.
(Good series by the way, makes me want to renew my passport and head off).
Cheers for the proportions Sir, I feel a cooking session coming on now.
