Equipment

  • Large Bowl
  • spoon
  • stove

Ingredients

  • 2 Cup wheat flour
  • 3/4 Cup cold water
  • 1/2-1 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp organic olive oil

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix together the wheat flour, cold water, salt, and olive oil. Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
  • After the dough has rested, divide it into 8 equal pieces and shape them into balls. Place the balls of dough on a lightly floured surface and flatten them with your hands to form 8 flat circles.
  • In a heavy skillet over medium heat, cook the bread for about 2 minutes on each side or until lightly golden brown. Serve the bread warm.
  • Enjoy your Bread Jesus Ate!

Notes

  • Add some herbs or spices to the dough for extra flavor.
  • Toast the bread for a crunchy texture.
  • If you want a softer texture, steam the bread in a bamboo steamer instead of cooking it in the skillet.
  • Spread some jam or honey on top of the Bread Jesus Ate for an extra sweet treat.
  • Make mini sandwiches with your Bread Jesus Ate by adding some cheese, meats, and vegetables inside.
  • Make a savory version of the bread by adding in some garlic, onions, or other herbs and spices to the dough.
  • For a sweeter flavor, add a tablespoon of sugar or honey to the dough.
  • Make a sweet version of the bread by adding some dried fruit or nuts to the dough.
  • Use different types of flour such as whole wheat, spelled, rye, or oat for more interesting flavors and textures.
  • Experiment with different oils like coconut oil or vegan butter instead of olive oil.
