Flatbread report.....
 

It's impossible to roll it thin enough! Tastes pretty good, not as good as the ones I buy at Froelichs but heck it's my first time! Any suggestions about how to roll it thinner???? My rolling pin is old and wooden...I've heard of newer, smaller ones.

I tried to dry the Rosemary from my garden in the microwave and set the paper towel afire. :rolleyes: Ended up using the dried in a jar. I need to go pick some and set it in the sun so next time (yes, there will be a next time) I can use fresh.

Curious, you may have created a monster! :D

alffe...are you using a regular rolling pin?

i have a special one...it all tiny squares that stick out. i also make lefse...which is norwegian. it also takes a long tapered stick to get that thin dough off your board without tearing.

hehehe..i should have mentioned this huh? oh..don't worry too much about the amount of flour you use on the board. this stuff is dry. :wink:

here is the exact rolling pin i use:

drying herbs...fruit...veggies...i use a food dehydrator i got at walmart. funky thing. has plastic trays and a blow dryer type of thing send hot air all around the inside. works slick. kids love the dried banana's ans strawberries.

Just ordered me a Corrugated Rolling Pin! :D I won't try to make this again until it arrives.....Thank you Curious. Someone mentioned a hollow rolling pin that you fill with ice! :confused: Why would that be a good thing? :winky:

Pastry 101. :D

Brrrrrrrrrrr! :D

Oh Curious, will you adopt me? I haven't had REALLY good lefse since my norwegian grandma used to make it long ago! Dang it was good!!!! Little bit of sugar, little bit of butter, roll it up, eat, and go AHHHHHH!

HAAA!!! Look at the rolling pin used for lefse here! http://www.lefsetime.com/all_about_l...structions.php

lol..they are awesome for making pies in the summer. helps keep the dough chilled. same for a marble slab. lol..those are good so much fun for mixing goodies into ice cream. YUM!!!

i sure will doody!!! i make lefse atleast once a year. did your grandma make potato balls? ( some call them kuemla (sp) )

i had to laugh at that web site doody. looks just like me when i make lefse..except i use a potato ricer first. makes for faster work. iwill say...i end up with a tad bit more flour on me and the counters than that lady in the picture.

Are you kiddin me!!!??? OH YEAH! Both of my grandmas made Kumla, and my mom makes it. Norwegian Sinkers, LOL. I LOVE that stuff.

Um, maybe we should join the Society for the Promotion of Kumla???? LOLOL! :D

What are you two, three talking about! LOLOLOL!

Doody, when you come we're going up to Frolichs for flatbread that is to die for!

Ok...so when the rolling pin arrives and I try making it again I'll need a new kitchen with marble tops? Mr.Alffe ain't gonna like that! :p

And I need to keep the dough cold!

have you tried a very cold elephant? I heard they are wonders at making the bread flat...or anything flat,for that matter??

btw, Lara collects elephants, so she might have some to spare...LOLOLOL

:grouphug:

Does this mean you're back home? Are you SURE Lara collects elephants??
Did you have a wonderful time? Any fun at all? We want a full report! :D :D

Yes, I do.

... um, so are you supposed to roll the elephant over the dough?

:D

I just realized Lara, ~scrabble and I are all here at the same time! :grouphug:
:Heart:
QUICK look outside Scrabble... I see sunshine! :o

My mom has a marble countertop as well as a very heavy marble rolling pin.

:p

Yes!! I see it too, Addy!! :) :) :)

a round marble slab is good for cooking homemade pizza.

I have granite but I don't think I should put granite in the oven hey?

I think Moi may have meant "sit on it".

Hey, I'm looking outside and there's no sun yet. lol

p.s. :Wave-Hello: from one side of the Pacific to the other. :D

Did someone mention OCD??? lollol

Sun just came up! It's alright.

I have a feeling I may not have an elephant cookie cutter, Lara .... but I do have 2 large containers full of all shapes of cutters! I even have a moose and a newt!

:rolleyes:

Moose/Barb was here a minute or two ago. She'd probably have one of those too. ;) A newt? Now that is a very unusual cookie cutter indeed.

p.s. actually the newt would be great for Halloween parties or Harry Potter sleepovers.

Ok...show me the newt! :D For the life of me I can't think what a newt looks like!

umm...like a squishy lizard? :p

NOT unless the elephant is as cold as everything else used in the process. LOL!

YUM, flatbread at Froelich's!

i wonder if we can find an elephant from alaska to send to alffe?

You guys are too much! And I do not collect elephants or frogs! :D

doody, there are probably lots of goodies you'd like at this place.
