Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling out the dough
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • About 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, melted, or about
  • 1/4 cup corn, grapeseed, or other neutral oil

Method

  • Combine the flours and salt in a food processor.
  • Turn the machine on and add 3/4 cup water through the feed tube.
  • Process for about 30 seconds, adding more water, a little at a time, until the mixture forms a ball and is slightly sticky to the touch.
  • If dry, add another tablespoon or two of water and process for another 10 seconds.
  • (In the unlikely event that the mixture is too sticky, add flour, a tablespoon at a time.)
  • Remove the dough and, using flour as necessary, shape into a ball; wrap in plastic and let rest for at least 20 minutes or up to several hours at room temperature.
  • (Or refrigerate for up to a day or freeze for up to a week.)
  • Pinch off pieces of dough about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter; the recipe will make 8 to 12 breads.
  • Using flour as necessary, roll each piece into a 4-inch disk and brush with butter.
  • Roll up like a cigar, then press into a coil not unlike a cinnamon bun; set aside until you finish all the pieces.
  • Put a griddle or cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  • When its hot, press one of the coils flat, then roll it out into a disk about 1/4 inch thick, or slightly thinner.
  • Put on the griddle or pan and cook until lightly browned on one side; brush the top with butter, flip, and brown on the second side.
  • Continue until all the breads are done, then serve.
