Frying Pan Flatbread

Why not head to the nearest supermarket and buy a loaf of bread for your camping trip? Well, bread bought to have on hand can get mouldy quickly, especially in humid places, like at the beach. If you make it yourself instead of buying it, then you can bake the amount you need and enjoy it right away. Plus, you can save some space in your camping kitchen. So grab a pan, and let’s get started!
Time: Preparation about 10 min. Baking time about 15 min. Resting time about 20 min.
Ingredients:
- 200 g sour cream
- 2 eggs
- 250 g flour
- 100 g rye flour
- 1 packet baking powder (15 g)
- 1 ½ tsp sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- Oil for the pan
Directions:
- Sift flour, rye flour, and baking powder into a bowl
- Create an indentation in the middle
- Mix sour cream, eggs, sugar, and salt together, and pour the mixture into the indentation
- Stir everything together with a spoon, then knead with your hands until a sticky dough forms
- Cover the dough with cling film or a clean tea towel; let rest for 20 minutes
- Halve the dough, and then divide each half into six pieces of equal size
- Dust each piece with flour and, on a floured surface, press the dough flat and roll it out to a thickness of about 3-5 mm
- Tap off the excess flour
- Heat up 4-5 tablespoons of oil in the pan and grill the dough on both sides until golden brown
- Soak up excess oil by dabbing the flatbread with kitchen paper
Whether you top it with sausage or marmalade, there’s no limit to the sweet and savoury variations of this bread. Bon appétit!
