AmandaG Report post Posted April 5 We don't have any bread at the moment but have a lot of potatoes and some plain flour - which it turns out is perfect for Norwegian style flatbreads! If you have leftover cooled mashed potato, mix it equal parts with plain flour. You can add a tiny bit of water, milk or olive oil if you like if the dough is too dry or going crumbly. Knead into a firm bread dough. Roll out portions of dough on a floured surface with a rolling pin to make flat plate-sized discs. The best way to cook them is in a dry frying pan or iron skillet. It only takes a few minutes for each side, and gives you a lovely fresh flatbread perfect for making wraps. Quote Share this post Link to post
OB1 Report post Posted April 22 Ooh thanks Amanda I'm going to give this a try! Quote Share this post Link to post
AmandaG Report post Posted April 23 (edited) I'm doing a lot of experimenting with flatbreads at the moment. I have a lot of finely ground cornmeal, so I was able to make corn tortillas, and (because one of them dried out a bit) also managed tortilla chips! Creation of the day yesterday was trying out a chapati to go with some curry I'd made. I added some butter and oil to this one, and baking powder, and flavoured it with ground cardamom. It was more stodgy and bulky than the Norwegian ones, but made a lovely addition to curry. Edited April 23 by AmandaG spelling Quote Share this post Link to post

AmandaG Report post Posted April 24 They're really good with hotdogs. That's how they sell hotdogs as snack food in Norway. Quote Share this post Link to post
