NORWEGIAN FLATBREAD (FLATBROD)

I prefer my flatbread to be thin and crispy, so I roll it out as thin as possible. Norwegian flatbread is traditionally served with butter, as a side to meat and potato-based meals. For special occasions, it may be served with cheese or jam.

INGREDIENTS

•  1 1/3 cup whole wheat flour
•  1 1/3 cup all purpose flour
•  1 teaspoon baking soda
•  1/2 teaspoon salt
•  1/4 cup vegetable oil
•  3/4 cup buttermilk, room temperature

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a large mixing bowl, sift together flours, baking soda, and salt. Add vegetable oil and mix well.
2. Add buttermilk. Knead dough for a minute or so on a well-floured surface.
3. Preheat oven to 350F. Cover dough with a damp paper towel when not using. Take approximately 1/4 cup of dough, roll it into a ball, and proceed to roll it out with a rolling pin on a floured counter top. I like my flatbread very thin and crispy, like a cracker. Place rounds onto a cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until flatbread is lightly browned and crisp.
