I need a simple flat bread recipe?

My family usually buys flat bread at the store for passover, but this year I want to make it from scratch... does anyone have a simple, but good recipe??


Thanks.I need a simple flat bread recipe?
I am from India. But I find Pita to be easiest flat bread to make. Atta is whole-grain wheat bread flour. You may just use whole wheat flour.


Indian breads are normally cooked on stove-top griddle. You need to develop a knack for doing that. To me baking in oven is much easier.


When you roll out the bread and you can't really make a perfectly round cookie, Cheat. Use the lid of a coffee can and a knife to cut-out the perfect round cookies.


Try it. It is the simplest recipe. Happy Passover!
