27 #Flatbread #Recipes That Rise to Any Occasion
Thereās plenty to be said for lofty, airy loaves of bread that dramatically puff up in their pans in the oven. But flatbreadsādespite being, you know, flatāare just as dramatic in flavor, texture, and visual appeal. Examine, if you will, Moroccan mlaoui, with all of its buttery, chewy layers, or a chile- and garlic-stuffed kulcha, beautifully burnished under the heat of a broiler and dusted with fiery red chile powder. (Sourdough boules, I love you, but youāre in an entirely different class.) Pizza is arguably the worldās most beloved flatbreadāand its ancestor focaccia is also damn fine, if you ask us. Some flatbread recipes, such as scallion bing and naan, get a little rise out of yeast, which gives them a more bready quality too; others have no leavening at all, including Gujarati theplas, Turkish gƶzleme, and tortillas. The world abounds with flatbread, and your kitchen should too.
