has anybody got a recipe for iraqi flat bread?
i am not looking for a recipe for Arabic flat/pita bread. i am looking for a recipe for the Iraqi-style bread, which is more similar to a tortilla in form. the kind that is baked in clay ovens, in nearly every Iraqi household daily. thanks
Here a couple of recipes that I found for someone else that was looking for similar recipes. Hope this is helpful. =)
Flat Bread (from a great blog)
Ingredients:
Whole wheat flour - 1 1/2 - 2 cups (or whatever flour you wish)
Water to knead
Method:
Put the flour in a big bowl, add enough water to make a firm, softish dough.
*
Knead firmly for 5-7 minutes; it should feel pliable & come away cleanly from the edges.
*
If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle on some more flour, 1 tbsp at a time, to get a nice, pliable dough.
*
Leave to stand for 30 minutes if you have time.
*
Heat a flat pan / tava to hot.
*
Make a dough ball about 1 1/2 " big, dust in flour on both sides, & roll out as thin & as evenly as possible.
*
Put the rolled out flat bread on the tava. Cook for 1 minute till small bubbles form on the surface, flip it over & repeat.
*
Now drizzle a little oil (1/4 tsp) & smear it all over & fry briefly on low heat. Repeat on the other side. Keep warm. Make the rest of the chapatis the same way.

Finnish Flat Bread Recipe
Ingredients
1 ½ cups all purpose flour
¾ cup wheat flour
1 cup buttermilk
¼ cup shortening
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
Procedure
In a large bowl, combine together the following ingredients - all purpose flour, wheat flour, shortening, sugar, salt, baking soda and powder. Mix them well and pour buttermilk into the mixture. Prepare a smooth dough by mixing with hands. After this, cut the dough into six pieces; roll out each piece into a uniformly thick circle (about 7-8 inches). For easy cooking, you can prick the surface of the dough by using a fork. Preheat oil on a griddle and cook the dough on medium flame. Make sure to turn the dough frequently by using a spatula. Transfer the cooked flat bread in a platter and serve hot.
