Lingue di Suocera (Mother-In-Law’s Tongues)

By Manuela | May 30, 2014 | InBlog, General

These flat breads are called ‘mother in law’s tongues’ because when you cook the bread,
some come out beautifully smooth and soft, others all twisted and some even with ‘blisters’ ……. like a mother in laws’ remarks…. (all untrue of course!!)

For about 6 ‘tongues’
• 1 kg fine, unbleached flour (Tipo 00)
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 15 gr granulated yeast
• 4 tablespoons virgin olive oil
• 2 1/2 to 3 cups warm water
• 20 gr fresh lard
