    Flatbreads are flattened bread usually prepared with unleavened flour. Though most flatbreads use unleavened flour, there are a few exceptions.

    When flatbreads are stuffed either with a vegetable or a meat filling, it not only enhances the flavor but also makes it a hearty snack and a meal. There are sweet and savory stuffed flatbreads in almost all cuisines.

    It is amazing how similar some of the flatbreads across the countries are, despite the distance. Some of the these taste a lot similar to Indian stuffed paratha, though the preparation varies.
