Flat bread

[ishmael]

It's fine stuff, as witnessed by the ya ya about wraps.

We get it around here, for a price. I mean, com'on four bucks for twelve ounces of bread!? But it's trans-fat free.

Flat bread. All kinds of association. The temple, lit by miracle, an Indian woman slapping dough on the side of her tandori.

Not lightly is it called life.

Sue and I had it not long ago at an Indian restaurant.

Otherwise known as pita bread, they lightly brown it there and serve it with a couple of different dipping sauces.

One is a green sauce that has cilantro in it and one is a brown sauce.

I'd give anything for the sauce recipes.

We've been getting small thick pitas with dried fruit in them.They are much like bannock and make great camp food.

Mike,

You can make the green sauce yourself or the restaurant will probably sell you some if you bring your own jar.

We've been having lots of barbeques here and I have taken to making a bread dough (like a pizza base) and rolling it out and cooking on the barbie hotplate with olive oil and coarse salt. Delicimo!

The book that huisjen recommended, "Flatbreads and Flavors", is recommend by a couple of other baking books, as well, and Santa was kind enough to give it to me. I haven't done anything but read and drool, so far, but there will be cooking from it.
