Hey! Well done on this post. I like the minimilistic way the recipe and method about making flat bread is written – I’m giving it a go tonight using a neat little Indian roti flat pan and I expect it should work well.

I subscribed to your site; the “voice over” after entering my details was an interesting surprise… I had to quickly look over the back of my chair because (for an instant) I thought someone was behind me, lol.

Good stuff.

I love this bread! I just made pita-pizzas for me and my girls for lunch, and it took practically no time. And so tasty too!

Sorry for my slow reply Lisa! Easy wasn’t it….. After a few tries you get your own styles and ideas and it gets very fun.

Let me know if you have any more questions or discoveries while playing around.

Nevermind on the last comment – in the process of making the tortilla style, while rolling out and pondering on the recipe, I realized that I had asked a really STUPID question. I was making it more complicated than it is!

Tortilla style worked great! Thanks for the simple and versatile recipe!!

Great recipe – I’ve been looking for something like this for a while now. For making the pita style, the comment says “grab a little more dough”. Does this mean add more than 2 cups total flour than given in the original recipe? If so, what sort of ratio do you use? I’m a bread newbie, so I haven’t honed the improvisational skills yet.

I’d like to try making these in the pan like you describe here – I’ve had good results with oven pitas, but it’s a lot of time with an oven at 500F, constantly opening and closing the door to complete a batch. I’m certain the pan method would cost less – not to mention your version doesn’t call for yeast, which would further drive down the cost.

Looking forward to perusing the rest of your blog – thanks for the info!

Thanks Cheryl, glad you liked the recipe. Did you try it again with herbs?

Can’t believe how simple this is, might try adding some herbs next time, used to mop up chicken curry yum!

Hey Barb, I think it would work great in a pan on the fire but never tried.
