Rye and whole wheat flat breads

A friend of mine gave me some rye flour the other day to use in a medieval cooking demo, and I figured I would cook it up today to go with some leftover pease porridge and fried greens. I had forgotten the delightful quality rye brings to bread making, aromatic, soft, nutty and overall DELICIOUS! These are no joke one of my very favorite breads I have ever made.



Makes 4 flat breads

Ingredients

1C whole wheat flour
1C rye flour
1 tsp yeast
1 tsp salt
½ C water
1 TBS sugar

Method

Mix your flours, salt, yeast and sugar
Add in the water and knead well for about 3-4 minutes
Let rest in a greased bowl for 1 ½ hours or so until it doubles
Preheat a skillet/tawa to between med and med high
Cut dough into 4 pieces and make balls of it.
Flatten each ball down, then dip it in flour and roll out to around 1/8 of an inch
Cook on the griddle on one side until bubbles form and the bottom is browned (Around 1- 1 ½ minutes)
Flip and let the other side lightly brown (30 seconds- 1 minute)

Top with a little butter and devour!
