Traditional Norwegian Flatbread Fast No Machine Required Recipes

Steps:

• Mix corn meal, flour, and lard together and add enough cold water to hold together like a pie crust.
• Roll out very thin with grooven rolling pin and bake slowly on an ungreased electric griddle, or in a moderate oven, 325 to 350 degrees.
• Watch closely. When it begins to get a light golden brown, turn and bake on other side.
• Let dry out completely before putting into a container. Keep in a dry place.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400º.
• In large bowl combine whole wheat flour, sugar, butter and water. Let stand 5 minutes.
• Stir in all remaining ingredients using enough flour to make dough easy to handle.
• Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead until smooth (5 minutes).
• Divide dough in half; shape each half into 12x2 1/2 inch roll.
• Cut each roll into 12 portions.
• On lightly floured surface roll each portion to 1/8 inch thickness (flat breads will be irregular in shape).
• Place on cookie sheets.
• Bake 10 to 13 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• First, make your vegan buttermilk by placing the lemon juice in the soymilk and letting it sit for 10 minutes.
• Combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, oil, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Mix well.
• Slowly add just enough "buttermilk" to make a stiff dough.
• Knead dough for 30 seconds on a well-floured surface, such as a board or tabletop.
• Roll a medium-sized handful of dough (about 1/4 cup worth) into a ball and then pat it down into a flat circle. Be sure to cover the remaining dough so it doesn't become too dry.
• With a floured rolling pin and on a well-floured surface, roll dough into a very thin 10-inch circle. (If dough is sticking to the surface on which you are working, dust it with more flour.).
• Place flatbread on an ungreased cookie sheet. (I would recommend using a 10" pie pan instead.) To make all your flatbread pieces the same shape and size, score the dough circles with a knife, making triangles, X's, squares, or whatever shapes you prefer. (After baking, the flatbread will be broken into pieces along the scored lines.).
• Bake at 350F for 8 to 10 minutes. Flatbread should be crisp and slightly brown around the edges. Cool on a wire rack and repeat with remaining dough.
• Break flatbread into pieces and serve plain or with desired topping, such as cheese, dips, or lingonberry preserves.
