Gypsy Bread

This simple bread is popular among Hungarians of Roma/Gypsy origin, and is cheap and easy to make.

Ingredients:
1 kilogram flour
1 packet baking powder or baking soda
Salt
Water

Method:
Knead the flour, baking powder or baking soda, salt and water into a medium hard dough. Flatten it so it is two to three centimeters thick. Bake in a hot oven for 40 to 45 minutes. It can be eaten with anything that bread would normally be served with, such as with zsír, lecsó or pörkölt.
