There are many different types of this flat bread.
This version should remain soft rather than crisp
(hence the name lefser, or soft cake). PREHEAT OVEN TO
450F. In a large bowl, combine water, butter, salt,
rye flour and all-purpose flour and beat well. Stir in
whole wheat flour and beat until you have a smooth
dough that resembles dough for a baking powder
biscuit. Divide dough into 4 parts. Cut each portion
into quarters. Flour a board and roll each piece of
dough to make a thin 10- to 12-inch circle. If
desired, use lefser rolling pin to make a pattern on
the dough. Place 2 or 3 dough circles on ungreased
baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven 3 to 5
minutes--NOT until completely browned. Cool on a rack.
Wrap airtight.
