Flatbread has been around since the days of the ancient Egyptians.
According to Bakerpedia, the flatbread originated over 6,000 years ago in the Fertile Crescent and has since spread to other continents and regions.
Even though it’s popping up on grocery store shelves and in restaurants in recent years, the flatbread is not really a new concept.
Each culture has their own version of flatbread.
From the naan in Afghanistan and India to the tortilla in Central and South America, to the chapati in Uganda and the pita in Greece, just about every region of the earth has its own style of flatbread.
Flatbread is versatile. Toast it or warm it up and put on it what ever you like.
A piece of flatbread with nothing on it, is open to a new recipe.
