Traditional Norwegian Flatbread, also known as lefse, has been a staple of Norwegian cuisine for centuries. This simple and versatile bread is a great side dish or snack, and can be enjoyed with a variety of toppings. It is typically made using a special lefse griddle, but this recipe shows you how to make it without a machine. The bread is fairly thin and pliable, making it great for wraps, rolls, or even as a substitute for tortillas or pita bread. Try it out for a delicious and easy addition to your mealtime routine!

Instructions

1.	Preheat your cast iron skillet over medium heat.
2.	In a large mixing bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine.
3.	Pour in the vegetable oil, lemon juice, and 3/4 cup of the soymilk. Stir together until a dough forms, adding additional soymilk if necessary.
4.	Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
5.	Divide the dough into 8-10 equal pieces and roll each one out to approximately 1/8 inch thickness, using additional flour as necessary to keep the dough from sticking.
6.	Place each round into the preheated skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
7.	Serve hot with your favorite toppings or simply enjoy plain.
