 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.
