Delicious Finnish flatbread made with wheat and rye flours. Can substitute cream of rye cereal. Yields 4-5 flatbreads.
Ingredients:
  • 4 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 0.75 cup coarse whole wheat flour
  • 0.75 cup coarse whole rye flour
  • 8 cups bread flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions:
  • Combine warm water and sugar in a large bowl. Sprinkle in the yeast and allow it to sit until foamy, approximately 5 minutes.
  • Combine the salt, whole wheat flour, and rye flour, then gradually incorporate the bread flour until the dough is no longer sticky. Knead on a floured surface until smooth and elastic for approximately 10 minutes. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, making sure to coat it well. Let it rise until doubled in size, which usually takes about 1 hour.
  • After deflating the dough, separate it into 4 or 5 sections and shape each into a ball. Allow them to proof until they have doubled in size, approximately 20 minutes.
  • Place each ball on a baking sheet and gently flatten into a 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick oval shape. Use a fork to poke holes all over the dough. Allow it to rise again until doubled in size, this will take around 20 to 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • After 20 minutes in the preheated oven, wait for a golden brown top and bottom. Finish by brushing the warm tops with butter.
