To prepare this flatbread, you can warm it slightly before serving. Many people enjoy toasting it in a dry pan over medium heat for a minute or two per side until it becomes slightly crisp and pliable. It can also be warmed in an oven or toaster oven. Once heated, it's ready to be topped with your favorite ingredients for a quick pizza, folded around fillings for a wrap, or served alongside soups and stews. Its thinness allows it to heat through quickly.
