Well, that might make a difference. I was using volume measurements hence the
1/2 cup of flour instead of 4 oz of flour. Good point about the egg yolks; next
time I try this I'll use two egg yolks and up the water content a bit. I'm still
adding salt though if for no other reason but that I think it tastes better with
some included.
I suspect that with less egg yolks and a little more water, the flatbreads will
end up being crispier. Also, these can be reheated with good results - they were
eaten the day after they were prepared after a 15 minute pass in a 300 degree F
oven having come straight out of the refrigerator.
