Cooking Tips:

- Ensure your yeast is active by dissolving it in warm water (not hot) and letting it rest for about 10 minutes before mixing it with flour.

- Knead the dough well until it's smooth and elastic to ensure the flatbreads have a good texture.

- Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free place until it doubles in size. This usually takes about 1 to 2 hours.

- When shaping the flatbreads, use a light dusting of flour to prevent sticking and to make rolling easier.

- Cook the flatbreads on a hot griddle or skillet for the best results. They should puff up and have golden brown spots when done.

- You can add various herbs or spices to the dough to customize the flavor of your flatbreads.

- For an extra burst of flavor, try adding different types of olives or other mix-ins like sun-dried tomatoes or roasted garlic.
