Sweet Unleavened Bread

Unleavened Show Bread Recipe

While we are celebrating the Feast of Unleavened bread it would only be wise to share some unleavened bread recipes that are easy for you to make at home.
This recipe is brought to you by a very dear sister of mine, Mrs. Shamayam. She is a wonderful sister and cook so she will be donating her recipe for us today.

Sweet Unleavened Bread Recipe

Bake at 350° F (180°C) for 20 minutes

Sweet Unleavened Bread

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 cup white flour
• ½ tsp salt
• 7 tbsp cold butter
• ¼ - ½ cup cold milk
• 1-2 tbsp honey

1- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Mix the flours and salt together a large bowl.

2- Add in the butter and cut into flour with your hands. The flour should look like a coarse meal with pea size butter chunks.

3- Dig a well in the mixture and slowly add the milk. Pour little by little to absorb all the loose flour. The dough should be wet enough to absorb loose flour but not overly wet. Knead the dough while mixing in the milk until smooth and form into a ball.

4- Lightly flour a clean surface top and butter the baking sheet. Dump the ball on the floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to about ½ inch thick. (The bread doesn’t rise so the thickness you roll it too will be how thick the bread will be)

5- Place the dough on the baking sheet and bake 5 minutes. Quickly remove from oven and spread honey on top with a spoon. Return back to the oven for another 15 minutes.

 (When finished the dough should not be doughy when you touch it. If so, keep cooking for another 5 minutes. It will not turn golden brown, but the honey will start to burn on top if over cooked.)

6- Remove from the oven and let cool before eating.
