Cooking Tips

• Make sure to let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with and result in a softer bread.
• If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour while kneading.
• For extra flavor, you can sprinkle some sesame seeds or nigella seeds on top of the bread before cooking.

Storage and Serving

• Store the Turkish Flat Bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, wrap the bread in aluminum foil and warm it in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes.
• Serve the bread warm with your favorite dips like hummus, tzatziki, or baba ganoush. It also makes a delicious base for sandwiches or wraps.
