Hi Dave, well I tried it this afternoon, reserving 6 oz from my normal loaf
dough. i.e. white and wholemeal 50/50. I cut it into 4 pieces and rolled out
very thin oblongs. 2 were oven baked and 2 were pan baked.
These were coated in either egg/mayo or curried chicken/yogurt and were
placed in the fridge for an hour to soak into the Pita-style bread.
Unfortunately these turned out to be hard crispbread, rather than the soft
Armenian cracker bread, you mentioned above.
Very tasty but were too stiff to be rolled. Suspect I need a purpose-built
recipe for this pinwheel canape, or maybe bake a normal loaf, wait till 2
days old and then cut very thin and then roll into the pinwheels? Any
thoughts?
