   There are many different types of this flat bread.
   This version should remain soft rather than crisp
   (hence the name lefser, or soft cake). PREHEAT OVEN TO
   450F. In a large bowl, combine water, butter, salt,
   rye flour and all-purpose flour and beat well. Stir in
   whole wheat flour and beat until you have a smooth
   dough that resembles dough for a baking powder
   biscuit. Divide dough into 4 parts. Cut each portion
   into quarters. Flour a board and roll each piece of
   dough to make a thin 10- to 12-inch circle. If
   desired, use lefser rolling pin to make a pattern on
   the dough. Place 2 or 3 dough circles on ungreased
   baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven 3 to 5
   minutes--NOT until completely browned. Cool on a rack.
   Wrap airtight.
