Barley Bread
This is a flat bread I came across on the healthyeating.com website years ago. Eat it warm straight out of the oven with a pat of butter and a drizzle of honey! So good!

Notes
- Use fresh barley flour for best results.
- Start with 1/2 cup of room temperature water and increase by tablespoon increments as needed.
- There are many ways you can add in dried fruit and nuts to this basic recipe. Cranberries are a great addition, giving the bread a more fruity flavor.
- Don't expect a big rise when baking this bread, the absence of yeast will give it a more flatbread look and taste.
