- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1/2 cup fat free plain yogurt at room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup barley flour
- 1 cup wholewheat flour (or other whole grain)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Dissolve the yeast in warm water.
Stir the yogurt until smooth, then mix in the baking soda. Yogurt
will froth. Combine the flours in a mixing bowl with the salt.
Add the yeast liquid and the yogurt. Stir. Knead by hand for 10
minutes.
Cover the bowl with plastic film and let rise in a warm place for 1
to 1.5 hours. until doubled in bulk. Turn the dough out onto a board
and knead a little. Divide into 8 equal portions, and roll into little
balls.
Roll each ball into a 6" round. Cover and leave for 20
minutes. Heat a griddle or electric frypan to medium high heat. Rub
pan with oil or use cooking spray. Place one round of dough in
pan and then press with a folded cloth to encourage small bubbles.
This prevents a pocket from forming. Cook for 1.5 minutes, then
turn and cook for one minute further. Edges of breads will appear
moist when cooked.
Wrap and keep warm until all rounds are cooked. Serve warm.
