Flatbread is the first bread that became available to humans. In fact, the loaf of bread came much later than the flatbread because of the difficulty in baking. Flatbreads were simpler and the right utensils could be found for them. To this
day
,
flatbreads are still baked in different countries around the world. It is wrong to think that flatbread remained only in the Eastern countries, Georgia and Armenia. These countries are record holders in baking lavash and khachapuri.
But still, in addition to these familiar flatbreads, there are many others. For example, pancakes are also flatbreads.
Let’s prepare simple flatbreads together.
