Homemade Flat Bread Recipe

While fresh flatbreads are perfect for babies and toddlers lunches, they also make great wraps for burritos or even souvlaki meats. Buying them fresh is great, but not that convenient as they don't stay soft for long, and are quite expensive per piece of bread! Making them is easier and quicker than you can imagine and makes super soft and delicious breads that people of all ages will love!

These are just like making our Pea Pancakes or Blueberry Pancakes and go really well served with our baby Burrito recipe!
