Flatbreads are, shockingly, quite flat and thin. They are usually unleavened (no yeast or rising agents), although there are some exceptions like pita. They alsp typically do not use rich ingredients like butter or eggs.

Quick to make, healthy to eat, they can be a great side to soak up sauce, pick up a dip or sandwich some meat / veggies. Since they are thin, they can be made on a griddle or grill instead of an oven.

There are a variety of flatbreads across cultures. Try pita and for bonus points make gyros. Or make some naan on a skillet - and discover how easy and tasty a base for pizza it can be.

For something richer and more substantial, try these flaky scallion pancakes

Let us know what you'll be making this week and what you're going to pair it with for a full meal.

I made naan tonight for our Moroccan spiced lamb tacos. Everything was delicious.

I spiced the naan as well with garlic, onion, and chili powder.

Thank you! It was. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
