A traditional thin, crispy flatbread from Northern England and Scotland, made by clapping the dough between hands.
From 'clap' (to slap or strike) + 'bread', referring to the traditional method of shaping dough by hand-clapping. This rustic technique dates back centuries in rural British cuisine.
Clapbread was peasant food that required zero equipment—just flour, water, and quick hands—which is why it survived for centuries in poor farming communities where every resource mattered.
