Don’t go checking your calendar. No, it’s not Pesach. So why is she posting about unleavened bread in September? Well, I’m glad you asked! (You didn’t but I pretended you did). We eat unleavened bread all year around. Not exclusively, but oddly enough, it’s the ONE thing everybody really enjoys eating. And being a mom of 5 now, THAT is nothing short of a miracle. Anytime my kids see I’m making it, all their little faces light up. My husband likes it just as much. It’s delicious. And from a spiritual perspective, isn’t the point to live an unleavened life? Or have a taste for life without sin? It brings me great joy to make it so without further ado here is the recipe-ish. Tweak it as needed to suit your preferences.

Ingredients

4 cups flour

1 Tbsp Himalayan Sea Salt

1/4 cup Olive oil

3 Tbsp Earth Balance Butter

2 cups cold water

1. In a medium sized bowl mix together flour and salt until distributed evenly.

2. Add olive oil and mix in well. Flour should look crumbly.

3. Add butter and mix well.

4. Slowly add water (add 1/4 cup at at time) and begin to form your dough. It’s best to use your hands. Make sure the water penetrates flour mixture well. Dough should be squishy but not tacky. If it’s tacky you’ve added too much water. If it’s dry and crumbles, you need more water. If the outside is good but dough is dry in the middle, add a teaspoon of water at a time until it’s right.

5. You need a clean dry surface to roll out your dough. Sprinkle some flour over your surface before you begin. Break off pieces of dough and roll them into balls, about the size of donut holes, and set aside.

6. Begin to heat a non-stick frying pan on medium heat. Do Not add oil or butter to pan. It should be dry.

7. Take a rolling pin (or anything hard and cylindrical) and roll out each dough ball individually. Make them as flat as possible. Place as many as you can in your pan without them touching. And set the rest aside.

8. Cook each side until slightly singed. You’ll see little brown spots appear. Repeat until all the dough is cooked.

It’s delicious hot out the pan and even better if you add a little butter to it! YUMMY! See for yourself.

If you have any left over, which you may not, wait for them to cool completely and store them in a ziplock bag at room temperature.
