Making Flat Bread

Today Room 7 made flat bread. We got this idea from a book that Ms D reads to us. The book is called Boy Over Board, it is about a family escaping from Afghanistan. The boy in the story is named Jamal. He gets stuck with his little sister Bibi on a boat. Jamal had to cook bread because everyone was hungry.

Where did he cook it you ask?  ON THE BOAT ENGINE!!! Ms D thought we could look at her car engine to see where Jamal would cook the bread. When we got back to class Ms D said that tomorrow

we could make flat bread BUT NOT ON THE CAR ENGINE!!!

This is how we made it: 

First Annie, Haree, Martha, James & Nick put flour, oil, & salt in a bowl.

Then they added a little bit of water & then  they kept adding little bits of water and mixing until it was like play dough. 

Next we had to take a golfball sized piece of dough.

Get a rolling pin  & roll until it's very thin. 

Cook in a hot frying pan until both sides are golden.

ALSO: The book is fiction NOT non fiction

and the bread was YUMMMMMMM!!!!!

Recipe.

Flour - 1 dessert spoon of plain flour for each bread you want to make.

Splash of oil

Pinch of salt.

Water

Put a frying pan on to heat up. These flat bread are best cooked in a HOT pan.

Put ingreadients in a bowl and add small quantities of water, mixing, until you have dough. It should feel like 'play-dough'. If it is too sticky to knead - add a little more flour.

Knead for a couple of minutes until the dough is smooth and springy.

Break off a golf-ball sized piece and roll it out very thin on a board. Add a little flour if it sticks to the rolling-pin.

Put your bread in the pan. If it bubbles up a bit press it down with a fish slice. It is cooked when each side is nicely browned - see picture above.

Best eaten as soon as made.
