Flatbreads & Crispbreads

Probably the most ancient of all breads, flatbreads are found in almost every nation and culture in the world. The fact that flatbreads, such as pitta, are still common in the Middle East, often called the cradle of civilisation, emphasises their early origin. These are the breads to make when you don’t have the patience to fuss over forming a perfect baguette or the time to wait for the multiple risings and turnings of a bread that needs to hold a specific shape while baking. Flatbreads are easy, fun (you can involve guests in making their own pittas if you have space in the kitchen), and, above all, rewarding in taste.
