I make these at work they're great for little pizzas, sandwiches and just by themselves. All my pics are at work but it's totally doable at home too and delicious. Freeze them and pull them as needed!

I use active dry yeast for this recipe. Each type of yeast (dry, instant or fresh) have different strengths so make sure you use the right one or adjust accordingly.

Place it in a warm place to rise. I use an oven turned off at work but at home I would say on top of you oven if its on, or ontop of the fridge or anywhere else that's warm, on the dryer or dishwasher

Pre brush with oil where your going to put your breads. At home you'll probably only get one on a regular cookie sheet. So maybe use a few so they don't stack too high.

Roll from the centre out up down and side to side. Flip the dough when it springs back too much and make sure there's some flour on both sides to prevent sticking.

Roll them out a little smaller than a dinner plate I never worry about them being perfectly round, or round at all really. It's more " rustic" this way. Oil the tops and cover with parchment. Repeat.

Layer the flatbreads offset from each other if you can so they're not all completely one on top of the other. This helps them freeze better.  And parchment between each. And into the freezer til stiff

If your grilling them be sure to brush your gill really well and oil it. ( it's easiest to oil when it's off) I use a tightly rolled rag held with elastic and pour oil on the end then brush the grill

Once their stiff grill em. I find it works best on a medium heat but every grill or BBQ is different. Wait until the top and edges start cooking before flipping, it will bubble that's good.

Get some nice grill marks on them. You can use tongs or a spatula to flip whichever you like best. Once the outside looks cooked the inside is good. It will keep cooking when you take it off the grill

You can also bake them! 400F about 3-5 mins each side. Slightly different texture and you don't necessarily have to oil them if you have parchment but I would for flavour.  AND DONE!
