Flatbrauð

Description

Flatbrauð

Flat bread. This traditional bread is delicious with butter and a slice of "hangikjöt" (smoked lamb) as a snack.

Ingredients

• 500 g rye flour
• ½ tsp salt
• 250 – 300 ml boiling water

Directions

1. Mix the salt and the rye flour.
2. Add some water and knead.
3. Dough should be fairly soft.
4. Roll out thin and use a small plate to cut even sized breads.
5. Prick all over with a fork and bake on top of the stove at medium to high temperature.
6. For authenticity, do not use a griddle or skillet, but put the cakes directly onto the cooking plate.
7. Cook on one side until it begins to look dry, then turn over.
8. The bread should be slightly burned.
