It really comes down to the ingredients. Pizza dough had yeast in it, and normally some flatbread recipe do to. But this one is made with no yeast and just baking powder. Pizza is leavened out dough where as flatbread is unleavened giving it that texture and fluffiness. So to me not much difference.

Examples of flatbreads are, pita breads, nan breads, tortilla and focaccia breads. They would include a rising agent such as yeast or baking powder.

Ingredients
-
- 2 cups of all purpose flour
-
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
-
- 1 teaspoon of salt
-
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
-
- 1 teaspoon of pure maple syrup or sugar.
-
- 3/4 cup (175 ml)of water
- Oil for cooking flatbread
Instructions
To make the dough.
- In a bowl add the flour baking powder and salt and whisk all together.
- Then make a hole in the middle of the dry ingredients and add the liquids such as the maple syrup and olive oil and most of the water. (just to see if you have enough or if you need to add more to the dough when all mixed together.)
- Then with a spatula mix the dry and the wet ingredients well until it forms a dough. (this is when you see if the dough is to dry and then you can add a little more water)
- Place the dough on a floured surface and kneed for about 10 minutes. Cover and leave for 10 minutes with a dish cloth.
TO COOK
- Divide the dough into about 6 pieces and roll out into circular flat breads. (taking note what type of bread you would prefer. As the thinner you roll it out the flatter your flatbread. The thicker you leave it the fluffier it would be)
- Heat up a pan or skillet, with a little olive oil on the surface. (just as you would make a pancake)
- Add one rolled out circle to cook. Leave to cook for about 2 minutes until a little brown. Turn over and cook the other side the same time about until brown.
- Completing all the cooking and making sure your pan is not dry by adding a little olive oil every now and again so that the flatbread does not stick.
- In a plate keep warm covered just with a dish cloth to top with fillings of your choice for a snack or light meal or a side dish.
Notes
- store for 3-4 days wrapped in foil at room temperature.
- well wrapped and frozen for a month or two, is good.
- warm up in a pan or skillet.
