Ingredients
- 400 grams Barley flour
- 300 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 250 milliliters Whole milk
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the barley flour, all-purpose flour, and salt. Stir well to ensure the salt is evenly distributed.
Step 2
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then gradually pour in the milk. Use a wooden spoon or your hands to mix until the dough begins to come together.
Step 3
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it for about 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and pliable.
Step 4
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Cover the balls with a clean kitchen towel to prevent them from drying out.
Step 5
Preheat a griddle or large, flat skillet over medium heat. If you don't have a griddle, a standard frying pan will work as well.
Step 6
Working with one dough ball at a time, roll it out on a lightly floured surface until it is very thin, almost paper-like. Aim for about 1 millimeter thickness.
Step 7
Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough onto the preheated griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until light brown spots appear, flipping carefully with a spatula.
Step 8
Repeat with the remaining dough balls. Stack the cooked flatbreads on a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while cooking the rest.
Step 9
Once all the flatbreads are cooked, allow them to cool completely before storing, if not eating immediately. Norwegian flatbread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
