ENGLISH UNFERMENTED GRIDDLE BREAD.
This bread is usually made from whole wheat flour. It is cooked on a griddle, hence its name “Griddle Bread.” The griddle should be made thoroughly hot before placing the dough on it, and sprinkled with a little fine white flour. Measure the meal, and for every two level measures of meal allow one measure of boiling water; have the meal in a mixing bowl, and use a wooden spoon for stirring. Make a hole in the center of the meal and pour the boiling water into it, stirring all the time till it forms a mass or lump. No kneading is required. Sprinkle the paste-board with fine white flour and turn the mass onto it. Roll out into cakes, making the cake about half an inch thick. The edge should not be ragged, but dredged with fine flour and pressed with the knuckles to an even thickness. Dredge fine flour on each piece, rub it well in with the fingers, then turn it on the other side with the knife and do the same, so that the surface has a fine smooth appearance. As each piece is prepared, place it on the hot griddle plate. Two or three minutes is sufficient time to prepare the bread from the moment the water boils. The time for the cooking necessarily varies according to the heat of the fire, which should be kept at an even temperature; twenty to thirty minutes will be found the average.
