Flatbread with tomato and basil
Description
The flatbread with tomato and basil is fragrant, soft, and delicious. Yeast dough is made like Italian pizza dough — with water and flour (and yeast). Fold dried basil into the dough—it’s a subtle touch that makes the flatbreads even better. Make a sauce from tomatoes in their own juice and basil. When baking is finished, serve at the table. The flatbread with tomato and basil comes out fragrant, soft, and very tasty. Yeast dough is prepared the same way as for Italian pizza—using water and flour. Add dried basil to the dough; that detail makes the flatbreads even better. Also prepare a sauce from canned tomatoes (in their juice) and basil. When baking is done, serve at the table.
