  • Ready-made flatbread – The base of the recipe, making it quick and easy.

Serve: Enjoy this flatbread as a starter, light lunch, or pair with a simple salad for a complete meal.

Storage Tips:

Cool completely before storing. This prevents moisture from building up and making the flatbread soggy.  Wrap the flatbread tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to keep it fresh and prevent it from drying out.  Store it in the refrigerator if you plan to eat it within a few days. It should stay fresh for up to 3-4 days.
