Finnish-American Flatbread

1. 1

   In a large bowl, stir together the warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the surface and let it sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Stir in the whole wheat flour, rye flour, and salt. Mix in the bread flour, 1 cup at a time, until the dough is no longer sticky. Knead on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place the dough in an oiled bowl and turn it to coat. Set aside to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

3. 3

   Punch down the dough and divide it into 4 or 5 portions. Shape each portion into a ball; let them rise again until doubled, about 20 minutes.

4. 4

   Place each ball on a baking sheet and flatten into an oval, 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Use a fork to poke holes all over. Let rise again until doubled, 20 to 30 minutes.

5. 5

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

6. 6

   Bake in the preheated oven until the tops and bottoms are browned, about 20 minutes. Brush the tops with melted butter while still warm.
