Ingredients:

• 17.56 oz/500g of wheaten (wheat) flour

• salt

• water (as much as the dough can take depending on how loose or firm you want it)

• oil or grease

The flour is bolt and kneaded with the water and the salt until it becomes a paste (it doesn’t get stuck to the fingers). The dough is divided into pieces that get flattened and rounded. The dough pieces are put on the hearth or on a greased and flour sprinkled baking tin, in the hot oven or under griddle. It is done when the dough becomes a crust.

You can try to add more fats, cheese, eggs and cream that might change life and its purpose and even the name of the flat cake, although it might move it away from its primary religious role to which it has been baked for.

“Litiile” are little loafs of bread that are made of wheaten flour. They are always made in a number of 5 and brought to church for the annual fete by the so called hard working good people. They are brought to the evening divine service along with wine, wheat and oil that are blessed by the priest. The sacred “litii” are given as good deed to any people you might meet on the streets.
