Whey Flatbreads
Description
The recipe won’t take long. It’s the combination of whey and baking soda that makes the flatbreads very fluffy and keeps them soft for a long time. This is a basic recipe; if you like, you can make these flatbreads with a filling—potato, cheese, mushrooms, cottage cheese, or greens work wonderfully. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.

When all the flour has been added, knead a thick, soft dough by hand. You can brush the top of the dough with vegetable oil so it does not stick to your palms. Cover the dough with a tea towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.
