Notes
This Flatbread recipe is a bit chewier than the leavened flatbreads or tortillas.
Cooking in higher heat and longer in a skillet or air fryer may result in the flatbread drying out or crispier crust, and may not be as pliable to make a wrap. If that happens, brush with melted butter or olive oil to moisten the surface of the flatbread.
Air fryer temperature by brand may vary.
Storing: The kneaded dough can store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in a sealed container. The cooked flatbreads freeze well and can store in a sealed container for up to 3 months.
