Carta Musica (Sardinian Parchment Bread)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup semolina, plus extra for dusting
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups warm water
- In a bowl, mix together the flour, the semolina, and the salt.
- Gradually add the water until you have a smooth dough that is very easy to shape, not sticky, and not stretchy or glutinous.
- You might need as little as a cup of water-it all depends of the flour and the weather.
- Place the plaque au four or a baking sheet in the oven.
- If you are using a baking sheet, put it in the oven upside down, it will be easier to slide the bread on and off.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Divide the dough into 10 small balls.
- Cover them with a towel and let rest for about 15 minutes.
- On a floured surface, roll each ball to a thickness just under 1/16 of an inch.
- Put each round onto a heavily floured peel and slide onto the hot plaque au four or baking sheet in the oven.
- Bake for 2 1/2 minutes on each side.
- When the bread surfaces begin to bubble, watch the bread constantly, as they can readily burn.
- Turn the rounds over and bake another 2 1/2 minutes.
- When one is very light gold with dark highlight, remove it to a rack to cool.
- Continue until all of the rounds are done.
- This bread will keep for 2 to 3 weeks in an airtight container.
- When ready to serve, place the bread back in the oven for 2 minutes and they should be good as fresh.
