Recipes for Unleavened Bread

 

Basic Whole Grain Tortillas

 2 cups whole wheat flour

·     ½ tsp sea salt

·     ¼ C olive oil

·     2/3 C warm water

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl until a dough ball forms. Sprinkle counter or board with a small amount of flour to roll out small amounts of dough into tortillas. (If you have a tortilla press you can use that.) Roll out the dough to the size tortillas you prefer. Heat tortillas on a hot griddle (cast iron is great) just until cooked on both sides. Enjoy!

Yields 12 med sized tortillas

 

Unleavened Bread Crackers

 
3 c. oats
2 c. whole wheat flour
1 c. wheat germ (You can substitute this with flour or something similar.)
1½ T honey or brown sugar (Add a little more liquid if you use brown sugar.)
1 tsp. salt
3/4 c. oil
1 c. water
 
Roll out on counter or directly on cookie sheets.  Salt.  Cut in squares.  Bake at 325 for 30 minutes.  Watch closely.
 
 
Haycraft Homemade Matzah
 
2 c. hot water
2 T. butter
2 tsp. salt
2 T. honey
enough whole wheat flour to create a sturdy dough
 
Knead for six minutes or until pliable and soft, but not sticky.  Roll out on an oiled surface into small (6-8 inch) circles, and flatten with palms.  Roll thin for crispy matzah, a little thicker for softer ones.  Pierce the circles with a fork to prevent bubbling.  Bake in a preheated 450 degree oven on a baking sheet for eight minutes.  Remove to a cooling rack and let cool.  When cool, store in a plastic bag.
 
 
Bread Sticks
 
Mix the following together well:
1½ c. quick oats
2 c. flour (The recipe calls for 1 c. whole wheat and 1 c. white.  We usually use all white, though, as they're a lot easier to roll into bread sticks that way.)
2 T. sugar
2 tsp. onion powder
2 tsp. dill weed
3/4 tsp. salt
 
Mix together 1 c. water and 1 T. oil, and add to dry ingredients, mixing well. 
Tear off pieces and make into three-to-four-inch pencil-like sticks.  Place sticks on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes.
These are best served hot.  They rewarm nicely in the microwave.
This recipe can also be used to make an unleavened pizza crust.
 
 
Nutty Bar Cookies
 
To prepare the crust, mix the following together in a bowl:
1 c. whole wheat flour
1 c. quick oats
1 c. whole grain old-fashioned cornmeal
½ tsp. salt
3 T. sugar
 
Mix in 1 c. water and 1/4 c. oil.
 
Press into an 8x11 oiled baking dish, and bake at 350 for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the topping by mixing together:
1/3 c. honey
½ c flax seed and/or finely chopped pecans or walnuts
1 tsp.  vanilla
1 T. molasses
 
Remove crust from the oven.  Spoon on topping and spread evenly.  Bake 10-15 minutes longer. 
Cool and serve.  Store in the refrigerator.
 
 
Peanut Butter Cookies
 
Cream the following together:
½ c. honey
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 tsp. salt
½ c. peanut butter
1 T. oil
1/4 c. water
 
Then grind one and a fourth cups of quick oats into a course flour in a dry blender.
Mix oat flour into creamed mixture along with 1 c. whole wheat flour.
Form dough into balls and place on a cookied sheet.  Flatten balls with a fork that has been dipped in flour.
Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes, no longer.  Remove from oven and cool.  Store in airtight container.  These are chewy, but generally VERY well accepted.
