Flatbread and Crepe Recipes

Flatbreads are my favourite thing to make - there's something genuinely therapeutic about rolling, folding, and watching dough puff up on a hot tawa. This collection covers the full spectrum: flaky Indian parathas, deep-fried pooris and Kerala rice breads, Arabic pitas and Moroccan msemen, Turkish gozleme, and sweet and savoury pancakes.

Whether you need a quick weekday paratha or want to spend a slow morning making Algerian mahjouba, you'll find something here worth making.
