Receta Arab Flatbread (Manakeesh) for Pizza and More
I happened upon this recipe from "The Arab Table," and by accident discovered it makes a terrific, super-thin pizza dough, but only make it if you like the type of dough that bakes to an almost cracker consistency.
My oven only goes to 500 degrees, and I can't find my baking stone, but it turned out great, like it came from a brick oven.
