1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 packs Active dry yeast or 1 yeast
Cake
⅓ cup Water
1 tablespoon Flour
2 tablespoons Sugar
3 cups Flour
1 cup Water
1 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Preparation : Sprinkle the yeast over water and add 1 tablespoon of flour and sugar. Stir and set aside to rise for about 10 minutes.

Sift the 3 cups of flour with the salt. Add the yeast mixture. Knead adding one cup water gradually to make a stiff, but not dry, dough.

Set in a warm place to rise until doubled in bulk. Punch the dough down. Divide into 6 to 8 round balls. Place on a lightly floured surface. With a rolling pin, flatten into ¼ inch thick circles.

Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rise again for 15-25 minutes.

Brush with milk. Heat the oven to 500 degrees for about 15 minutes.

Place the bread on baking sheets and bake for 8 minutes until puffed up. Then turn over so the other side browns also. When the bread is a little cool, place them in plastic bags to soften. Excellent for sandwiches.
