For a richer flavor, try using a high-quality olive oil. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time. Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices. A sprinkle of za'atar or sesame seeds before baking adds a delightful touch. These flatbreads are best enjoyed fresh. However, they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in the oven or a dry skillet to restore their crispness.
