Finnish Barley Flatbread Recipe:

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 cups barley flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 cup lard or butter, firm
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

Method

Preheat oven to 425. In a large bowl, combine the flows with the sugar, baking powder, and salt. With a fork or pastry lender, cut in the lard until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix the buttermilk with the baking sofa and stir into the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms. Grease and flour a large pizza pan or cookie sheet. Pat dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness and pierce all over with a fork. Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly browned but not hard.
