Anyone in the mood for the county fair? This reminds me of a simpler, more wholesome version of the elephant ears I used to hunt down at the fair when I was a kid. Chewy, warm and delicious! Enjoy.
Chewy Elephant Squares
3 cups whole wheat flour, finely ground
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup oil, divided
1 ½ cups water
1 teaspoon cinnamon, optional, or to taste OR
1 teaspoon coriander, ground, optional, or to taste
½ cup sugar
1. Stir together flour, salt, and 2 tablespoons oil in a large bowl. Slowly stir in water until a soft dough forms. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead, dusting with just enough flour to keep dough from sticking, until smooth and elastic, about 15 minutes. Form dough into a ball and coat with 2 tablespoons oil in a bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let dough stand at warm room temperature 1 hour.
2. Preheat oven to 400. Divide dough into 2 equal pieces and roll out as thinly as possible into a rectangular shape on a lightly floured surface with a rolling pin. Place each one on a well-oiled cookie sheet and dust very lightly with cinnamon or coriander. Then sprinkle sugar over to taste.
3. Bake for about 15 minutes, then flip the dough and sprinkle with cinnamon/coriander and then sugar again. Return to oven and bake for about 15 more minutes. Cut and serve while warm.
Great when served still warm with your favorite vanilla ice cream.
Just use your favorite granulated sugar.
