Made from basic pantry ingredients—flour, water, salt, and often a touch of oil or yogurt—these breads can be leavened or unleavened, thin and crisp or soft and pillowy, and adapted to whole grains, gluten-free flours, or ancient grains for added nutrition.
Cooking Flatbreads is delightfully hands-on: mix, rest, roll, and cook over high heat for quick puffing and caramelized edges, or slow-bake with olive oil and toppings for a thicker, focaccia-like result. Try cooking on a cast-iron skillet, grill, or in a hot oven. each method creates a different crust and flavor. Spice the dough with cumin, nigella, or rosemary, fold in cheeses and minced garlic, or use Flatbreads as a canvas for saucy stews, grilled meats, salads, and dips.
