Kimaje (Flat Bread)
This bread is traditionally served warm from the oven and is used to scoop up other foods. Ingredients 1 package active dry yeast 1¼ cups lukewarm water (more as needed) 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil ½ teaspoon sugar ½ teaspoon salt 3½ cups all-purpose flour (more or less as needed) Procedure In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water. Add oil, sugar, salt, and 2 cups flour, and stir until smooth. Add just enough of the remaining flour to make a dough that is not sticky and is easy to handle. Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and knead until it is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Put the dough in a lightly oiled, large mixing bowl and move it around to grease all sides with the oil. Cover the bowl with a towel and set it in a warm place to rise, for about 1 hour, until the dough doubles in size. When the dough has risen, punch it down and move it to the lightly floured work surface. Divide into 6 equal balls. Place the balls side by side on the work surface and cover with the towel. Let them rise for another 30 minutes. After they have risen, flatten each ball with a lightly floured rolling pin or the palm of your hand, until it is a circle about ⅛-inch thick and 6 inches across. Using 3 cookie sheets, place 2 breads on each so that they are not touching, cover them with towels, and let rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 450°F. When breads have risen, bake in oven for about 10 minutes or until golden brown and puffed. |
