Regag, Rugag, Ragag, Rigag, Rougag Bread - Is a wafer thin crispy flat bread.This simple mixture of flour and water with a pinch of salt, smeared on a sizzling-hot pan and chipped free with a pastry knife or a paint chipper. It takes some practice to get down, but it is a fun and easy bread once you get the hang of it.

Ingredients:

• 4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

*(Makes 6 to 20 pieces)

Preparation:

• Place the flour, salt, and 2 cups water in a large bowl and mix well with your hands, squeezing out any lumps in the dough, until smooth. This will take up to 15 minutes and the dough will be somewhat sticky. Cover with a damp kitchen towel and let rest 30 minutes or up to several hours.

• Prepare to make the bread by having paper towels ready for wiping off excess dough, a bowl of warm water, a trash bowl, and a paint chipper or pastry cutter (a paint chipper is ideal, as its long handle keeps your knuckles away from the heat of the pan).

• Heat a flat circular cast-iron griddle, a heavy metal crêpe pan, a pizza pan, or another skillet with low or no sides over medium to medium-high heat. (To test if the pan is ready, sprinkle with water. If ready, it will sizzle and evaporate immediately.)

• Grab about a softball-size handful of dough and, working quickly, touch the dough ball to the hot surface of the pan, creating overlapping dots until you have a pan-size circle of crisping bread. Immediately use your paint chipper or pastry cutter to slide under the edge of the crisp dough, working around the edges and moving toward the centre to peel the bread off the pan.

• Transfer the bread to a plate and repeat until all the dough is used.

Crêpes or crepe are made by pouring a wheat batter onto a frying pan or flat circular hot plate, often with a trace of butter or vegetable oil on the pan's surface. The batter is spread evenly over the cooking surface of the pan or plate either by tilting the pan or by distributing the batter with an offset spatula or trowel. Cooking may take 30 to 60 seconds until the cooked side looks like the surface of the moon.
