FLATBREADS

Steps:

• Sift the flours and 1 tsp salt into a large bowl. Add 1 tbsp of the oil and 150ml warm water. Bring together into a soft but not too sticky dough (you may need up to 175ml water). If it feels too wet, add some flour. If it's too dry, add water.
• Tip onto a floured surface and knead for 4-5 mins, or until smooth. Put the dough in an oiled bowl, cover and leave for 30 mins.
• Tip onto a floured surface. Divide into six balls and roll each out into a thin, 18-20cm wide circle using a rolling pin. If you prefer, you can divide again into twelve balls to make smaller flatbreads.
• Brush a heavy-based pan with oil and cook one flatbread over a high heat for 1-2 mins on each side, or until golden and starting to puff. Put on a plate and brush with butter. Repeat with the rest of the dough.

OATMEAL FLATBREAD

Steps:

• In a bowl, stir together the sugar, melted butter and salt. in a separate bowl, add the baking soda to the buttermilk.
• Alternately add the flour and the buttermilk to the sugar/butter mixture.
• Stir in the oatmeal.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• To facilitate measuring the amount of dough needed for each piece of flatbread, divide the dough into 2 pieces and roll each into a log. cut 1/3 cup of dough from the log and mark the remaining length of the logs accordingly (i.e., 1/3 cup dough for each piece cut from the dough).
• Shape the small piece of dough into a round ball.
• Flatten it down on a pastry cloth (or floured surface) with your palm.
• Roll paper thin with a rolling pin covered with a pastry sleeve.
• Roll onto the pin or the end of a wooden spoon and place the dough on a cookie sheet.
• Either cut with a pastry cutter into squares before baking or bake the dough and then break into pieces.
• Place in the oven and bake for about 8 minutes, or till the flatbread is lightly browned (baking time will depend on thickness of rolled dough).
• Slip the flatbread off the cookie sheet onto a metal rack to cool. (break the dough into pieces now, if desired).
• These may be stored in a covered container for weeks.
