Is Flatbread the Same as Bread?

Flatbread is a type of bread that is rolled into a flattened dough that can be made with flour, water, milk, yogurt, salt, and other liquids.

It’s a great base layer for different types of food like pizzas, appetizers, and desserts.

We love to make it as a pizza or serve it as some sort of appetizer.

Is It Healthy to Eat Flatbread?

Homemade flatbread can be pretty healthy if you make it with whole wheat and lower-calorie options like low-fat yogurt.

But it’s a great option to include as part of a balanced, healthy diet because you can top it with lots of other healthy ingredients like arugula, spinach, kale, onions, peppers, etc.

I love to make flatbread pizzas because…who doesn’t love pizza?

And this recipe for caramelized pears flatbread is another take on pizza.
