Q&A Section

Q: Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
A: Yes! You can substitute whole wheat flour, but the texture may be denser. Try using a mix of 50% whole wheat and 50% all-purpose flour for a balanced texture.

Q: Can I prepare the dough in advance?
A: Absolutely! You can make the dough a day ahead and store it in the fridge. Just let it come to room temperature before rolling it out.

Q: How can I store leftovers?
A: Store the cooked flatbreads in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan or oven before serving.

Q: Can I freeze the flatbreads?
A: Yes! Freeze them in a single layer, then store in a freezer bag. Reheat in a pan or oven at 350°F (175°C) until warm.

Q: What can I serve with these flatbreads?
A: They pair well with hummus, tzatziki, baba ganoush, or a fresh salad. You can also drizzle honey over them for a sweet-savory twist!
