Time 2h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 teaspoon white sugar
2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
2 teaspoons salt
¾ cup coarse whole wheat flour
¾ cup coarse whole rye flour
8 cups bread flour
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, stir together the warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the salt, whole wheat flour and rye flour. Mix in the bread flour 1 cup at a time until the dough is not sticky. Knead on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place in an oiled bowl, turning to coat. Set aside to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Punch down the dough and divide into 4 or 5 portions. Form each one into a ball, and let rise again until doubled, about 20 minutes.
  • Place each ball onto a baking sheet and flatten out into an oval 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Poke holes all over using the tines of a fork. Let rise again until doubled, 20 to 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until browned on the top and bottom. Brush the tops with butter while still warm.

OHRARIESKA (FINNISH BARLEY FLATBREAD)



Ohrarieska (Finnish Barley Flatbread) image

From "Great Whole Grain Breads" by Beatrice Ojakangas. This is really, really fast and tasty...I like it with butter or cream cheese. You can find barley flour in most natural food stores and many large supermarkets.

Time 20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup milk
2 cups barley flour
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon sugar (I leave it out) (optional)
2 teaspoons baking powder (It's too chewy for my taste if baking powder isn't used) (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 500°F Mix all ingredients until smooth.
  • Generously grease a baking sheet (a 12-inch pizza pan works well). Pour the batter onto the sheet - bread should be 12 inches in diameter.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, until bread is firm and golden brown.
  • Cut into wedges, and serve hot with butter or cheese. This is definitely at its best shortly after it has been baked.
