I grabbed my oldest daughter, so I could teach her as well. I had her measure out all of the ingredients and put them in the bowl. She began mixing it up with a spoon and then turned to mixing with her hand. The directions were to mix until it was a tacky pizza dough consistency. After the dough was mixed, we placed it in a greased bowl to rest a while.
We had lunch during the resting process. After cleaning up from lunch, she went up stairs, and she twisted her ankle as she reached the bottom stair when coming back down. A loud pop! She fell to the floor. Oh no! We got her picked up, situated on the couch, propped up with ice, and ibuprofen. Fingers crossed it is just a bad sprain.
Back to baking. My daughter is not able to stand now, so I had to finish our baking project alone. I rolled out the dough after resting, separated it into six pieces, and fried it with a little oil on a griddle. When you've never made something before, it's always a guessing game how long it will take to cook. I stayed pretty close to watch each piece cook. When it browned on one side, I flipped it over to cook the other side.
They are by no means perfect, but they will be edible and probably pretty darn good with the Cajun 15 Bean Soup with smoked venison sausage that has been cooking in the crock pot since before lunch. So, I learned something new, partially taught what I did, and will get to enjoy the benefit of learning it later. It's a win win situation.
Maybe you will take the time to learn a new skill. Whether it be baking, fishing, crocheting, or anything else. Now is a really good time, since we have so much time on our hands. Good luck with your ventures of serving, solving, and learning.
Good job! Years ago I made lefse, a Norwegian potato flat bread, for my Mom when we were experimenting with diets to slow the effects of her MS. This looks similar.
