"I found this recipe in a Food Network magazine. Very easy to make and it is a great side to Oriental dishes or use as a sandwich wrap as recommended in magazine. I like using it to soak up the juices in a stir fry or the sauce in Chicken Teriyaki."

I decided to try my hand at flat breads, enjoyed this recipe which now has a protective sleeve and is close at hand in my recipe drawer for reruns. As previous reviewers I too added extra water about half a cup. Used my bread maker making for easy. Daughters suggestion had me stretch the dough over a bowl with great results. Cooking for one put the extra balls in the fridge which surprisingly worked exceptionally well. Made these to serve with Dienia b's Fiery Vegan Black Bean Soup #recipe42353, a perfect combination. Will be doing a rerun next week for my vegetarian friend.

Everyone has been adjusting water in this recipe and I am no exception. I added half a cup. But all recipes and conditions as well as the flour used will vary a little bit. I did find these difficult to roll, and opted instead to pat them in my hands, slap them on the griddle and flatten with a large floured spatula. When they were done I rubbed a little extra sesame oil on for extra flavor. Delish!

Really enjoyed the flavour of the green onions in this flatbread! They are fast and easy to put together. I too had to add about another 1/4 cup water to bring the dough together. Next time I am going to use a dry pan for cooking them, like I do with the Indian roti. I served them with a steaming bowl of soup for our dinner. Another wonderful recipe Bea! Made for Billboard Recipe Tag.

I loved these. I am rating them on the flavour only since I used the bread machine to make the dough. I did have to increase the water quite a bit to just over three quarters of a cup. They tasted great and were easy to make. Thanks for a great recipe.
