✨Tips
Right thickness: don’t roll the dough too thin, or the flatbreads will be dry. 1/4 inch is ideal for achieving softness.
Well-heated oven: bake only when the oven has reached 392°F, so the cooking will be even and quick.
Magic brushing: the mixture of water and oil gives a golden and soft surface. You can also add a pinch of salt or aromatic herbs.
Creative variations: try enriching the dough with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or chopped rosemary for a special touch.
Irresistible fillings: great with ham and cheese, but also with hummus, grilled vegetables, or smoked salmon.
Storage: they stay soft for 1-2 days closed in a plastic bag or wrapped in cling film. You can also freeze them and heat them in the oven to regain their fragrance.
