Flat bread was already part of the gastronomy of ancient Egypt, and with rudimentary techniques it was possible to make this bread as a companion to other foods. The main and striking characteristic is precisely its thinness, reaching a thickness measurement that does not exceed one centimeter.
The preparation technique has evolved and so has the combination of ingredients. The flat bread rolls that we bring you today combine wheat and rye flours that make this bread a true delight to taste. The secret? Respect the proportions between both flours and continue with the tradition of a fairly thin presentation of the bread.
