rollin' in the dough


This table and long, thin rolling pin are how many women make bread in this country. The dough is rolled flat, very similar to a tortilla, and then it is baked. The dough is larger and thinner than a normal tortilla, and it is delicious. It is often stuffed with meat, diced potatoes, cheese, or spinach and grilled like a quessedilla. It is one of our favorite foods. A lot of restaurants have women in the back making fresh dough on a table like this. Emma wanted to get a job rolling it out, but we pried her away before they put her to work.
