Instructions

  1. 1

    Crumble the fresh yeast into a large mixing bowl. Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the milk, and warm gently until just lukewarm, about 99°F (37°C).

  2. 2

    Dissolve the yeast in a little of the warm milk mixture, then add the rest of the liquid along with the salt, sugar, corn syrup, and whole wheat flour. Gradually work in the all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.

  3. 3

    Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place until puffy, about 45 minutes.

  4. 4

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and divide it into 14 round balls. The dough should not be too stiff.

  5. 5

    Roll each ball out very thin, about 1/8 inch (1/2 cm). Wrap the thin round around a rolling pin to lift it and brush away any excess flour.

  6. 6

    Heat a dry or lightly greased frying pan over medium heat. Carefully lay each flatbread in the pan and fry about 2 minutes per side, until lightly blistered. Transfer to a cooling rack, cover with a towel, and let cool.
