Thanks Trevor & Sally.

If you can’t find said spring flour, use a combination of white bread flour (in the US sold as Southern Biscuit or White Lilly brand, which use a softer grain of wheat) and whole wheat flour.

All the best

Good recipes – thanks for publishing.
Too bad that they are mixed with lies about Israelis and pro-Palestinian propaganda.

thanks!
I did make it again the other day-and came up with yet another methodical adjustment based on a friend’s suggestion: buy a ceramic tile of paving stone (unleaded/unglazed) to use as a baking stone in your oven (I bought two square ones from the Home Depot). Put in oven and preheat for about 40 minutes on the highest setting (500 or so). Once preheated, change oven setting to broil. Then placed rolled out rested dough one at a time on stones and close oven. It achieves the same effect as the griddle/oven method (heating form bottom and top) and worked even better! Also, I mixed in some flax seats, oat bran, and bread flour into the mix for a change (came out very supple).

Hi Brooke- yes you’re right, thank you for mentioning that here! I have a cast-iron oven-top griddle I use (still need to get a well-seasoned cast iron pan!)
