Here’s another traditional recipe straight from Cosmo Canyon: Cosmo Flatbread.
What I think is really cool about the Cosmo Canyon portion of this cookbook is the authenticity of each of the recipes and the diversity in the selection. It's obviously hard to make a recipe like this and not draw attention to the cultural context, so here goes: this flatbread was often made before important ceremonies, like naming ceremonies or weddings, and apparently used to be given at events like housewarmings. The significance changed over time, but the cookbook says it symbolizes a fresh beginning. So here you all go: a fresh bread for a fresh beginning! :)
A lot of Cosmo cuisine is simple and hearty, and this flatbread is no exception. What I like most about it is that it’s dense without being overly filling, and it has such a nice, almost corn-like taste. I’ve heard a variation can be made with cornmeal or corn flour, but don’t quote me on that.
COSMO FLATBREAD
Ingredients
3 cups of flour (all-purpose works best here)
2 tablespoons of baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons of salt
1/2 cup of butter, melted
1 1/2 cups of water
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Combine the dry ingredients first in a large mixing bowl. I’d suggest not using a mixer for this as it’s easier (and fun!) to mix by hand. Plus, traditionally, Cosmo Canyon residents mixed by hand to get a better texture and we want to get ours as close to authentic as possible :)
2. Add melted butter and water and mix until the batter becomes dough. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and began to knead. You don’t need to over-knead the bread here, by the way.
3. Here’s where you can shape the bread however you want. Some recipes have it sectioned into hand-sized balls, but I’ve decided to go with a large loaf. Use your hands to press out the dough until it’s just under an inch thick.
4. Then, on a lightly greased pan, place the dough in the center and bake for about 25-30 minutes.Â
5. Take out of the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Enjoy! :)
