Flat Bread


Flat Bread with Mix Fresh Herbs

I cooked flatbread to accompany the leftover of my roast lamb.  The flatbread based on Roti, Indian bread, it is easy to make.  You could also serve this bread with any dips that you like.

To be different from the common flatbread, I added some fresh mix herbs to the cooked bread.   I did it soon after brushing the dough with the olive oil.  The herbs brought extra flavours and freshness to the bread. 

I served the flat herbs bread with the lamb, a salad and yoghurt for dinner.  It was a delightful dish, the family loved it.
