I love Flatbread - especially when it's grilled. I never made it before and I was surprised how easy it is. I used my ABM to mix it up and then started at step 4. The rosemary really permeated the bread and it came out very nice. I served it with some Tapas the 1st night and then used the leftovers for some grilled flatbread pizza on the 2nd day which I think I enjoyed even more. It's so much better than any I've even bought at the market and at a fraction of the cost. Thanks for sharing.

This recipe is simple and the flatbread is delicious! I put cucumber sauce (Cucumber Sauce for Gyros), browned, spiced ground turkey and tomato slices on it. Thanks for the recipe!
