Dwarf Bread

I like Arabic bread, but there is a problem with it: it only comes in two sizes, small and gigantic. The small stuff is about 5 inches across, and generally has the flavour and texture of sweetish white fluff. The big stuff is close to a mile across and has a nice chewy texture but it would take us a week to get through a whole packet. So most of it generally languishes in the freezer for a while, or sometimes we save a bit of time and energy and bin it immediately.

A few days ago I thought I'd have a go at making some myself, with the intention of making medium-sized pieces. Hmm. Complete screw-up. I made authentic Dwarf Bread. Now if you're a fan of Terry Pratchett you'll have a good idea of what Dwarf Bread is about. And if you're not, why not? OK, the Dwarfs of the DiscWorld^TM, have traditionally baked round flat bread that
a) you can eat, and
b) you can use as a weapon. It's rock-hard, and the perimeter can be sharpened to a lethal edge. That's what I made.

Oh, and by the way, did you know that Dubai has its very own Dwarf Bread Factory? It's in Al Quoz and it's called Strategic Foods. I don't know what they do exactly, but every time I drive past it my head fills up with thoughts of Dwarf Bread and other stuff that might be too dangerous to mention here.
