WHOLE WHEAT FLATBREAD
(This recipe is sufficient for about 500 people in the Passover Service)
Ingredients
4 C whole wheat pastry flour
1 1/2 t salt
3 T butter
2 egg yolks
2 T vegetable oil
7/8 C milk or water
Directions
Sift flour, then add salt, cut the butter into flour mixture, like making pastry
In another bowl, beat egg yolks, adding oil slowly
Pour this mixture into flour and stir with spoon or fork until it forms a ball of dough that comes away from the side of the bowl
Knead lightly on a floured board for about a minute to shape dough into soft ball
Lightly flour the board again, pinch off about one-third cupful of dough and with the hands pat it as thin as can easily be done
then roll it thinner with rolling pin
Keep working the dough and rolling it until dough is so thin it just holds together without breaking when handled
Place rolled dough on ungreased baking sheet and mark into squares of any desired size with a knife
If it is to be used for Passover service, make only one cut across the middle to make pieces only small enough that they may be conveniently carried
Bake in preheated oven 390-400° for 8-12 minutes until puffed, or very lightly browned
If this bread is to be used for Passover service, use water instead of milk, and leave out the egg yolks
Increase water to one cup, mix with oil and add to butter-flour mixture

Unleavend Bread
Yield: 1 large round bread
Ingredients
2 cups warm water
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive or sesame oil
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
6-8 cups whole wheat flour
Directions
In a large bowl, mix together the water, salt and olive or sesame oil
With a wooden spoon slowly stir in about 2 1/2 cups of flour and the caraway seeds, mixing and beating for about 5 minutes
Mix in additional flour, until the mixture is too thick to stir
Flour a board or kneading area
Transfer the dough and any remnants left in the bowl, to the board. Knead the dough, adding additional flour as necessary, until it is smooth
Unyeasted dough requires a good deal of patient kneading, about 15-20 minutes to start
Work in a rhythm, turning the dough clockwise to assure uniform kneading
Altogether, you should have about 250-300 kneads
Oil hands, and form the dough into a ball
Oil the dough, and place in a large bowl
Cover with a cloth and a cover, and place away from drafts for 30-36 hours, or until the dough has puffed and risen
Allow longer time if no fermentation seems to be taking place
Remove the risen dough from the bowl, knead lightly and form into ping-pong sized balls
Place the balls in a large well-greased oiled round baking pan, snuggling them up, one against the other
Do not cram -- use an additional pan, or form an additional small loaf if necessary. Allow space for rising
Cover round bread loaf with a wet cloth and set in a warm place for 3-6 hours or until the dough rises about half again
Brush with milk or oil
Place the bread in a cold oven, and heat to 300F
Bake bread about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until it sounds hollow when tapped on both top and bottom
Serve warm and thinly sliced
or let your guests tear off the rolls as individual servings
