Flatbread - Viking Food and Cooking

Flatbread is a type of bread that is thin and usually has a round or oval shape. It is typically made from a simple dough of flour, water, and salt, and it can be baked or cooked on a stovetop. Here is a recipe for homemade flatbread:

Ingredients:

3 cups of flour (any kind)
1 cup of ale, buttermilk or jogurt
1 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the ale/water and stir until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 6-8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten it with a rolling pin or hand until it is about 1/8 inch thick.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Brush the surface with a little olive oil.
Place a flatbread in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until it is puffed and lightly browned. Repeat with the remaining flatbreads.
Serve the flatbreads warm, with your choice of toppings or dips.
You can also customize the flatbread by adding herbs or spices to the dough, or by brushing the top with a mixture of herbs and spices before cooking. Enjoy!
