Moroccan Flat Bread ….. Did You Know’s ???

Most flat breads are unleavened, meaning they are made without yeast. Although, there are some that are slightly leavened such as, Pita Bread. In general, flat breads are made with flour, water, and salt but the addition of other ingredients are an option. For example, in our recipe we used our Roasted Garlic Olive Oil, Moroccan Spice Blend, Coriander, and some lemon. Our addition of the mentioned ingredients creates a lovely Savoury Moroccan flavour to the flat bread. Flat bread styles can also have relations to different cultures from various regions. Check out these Flatbread Varieties to see the different types of flat breads from different regions around the world.
