Armenian Thin Bread


These are great by themselves, or are the perfect accompaniment to stew or soup. Yeah, fall!

Armenian Thin Bread

1 cup warm water
2 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp dry yeast
1/4 cup melted and lukewarm margarine
1 1/2 tsp salt
3 1/4-3 3/4 cups flour

Dissolve the sugar in the warm water, add the yeast and "proof" till foamy. (Probably ~ 5 min)

Add together all but 2 cups of flour, beat till smooth. Add enough of the remaining flour to make a stiff dough. Knead 8-10 minutes.

Let rise till double. Divide into 4 pieces and roll out to form 10"x14" rectangles. (The thickness will about double when you cook them, so roll it thinner for a cracker consistency, thicker will be more like breadsticks.) Cut into strips with a sharp knife.

Bake on ungreased cookie sheet at 350'F 10-20 minutes till golden brown.

Makes 50-100 depending on how you cut them.
