Instructions: Makes 6 flatbreads.

The article included Woods recipe for a Saudi flat bread that resembles a thin crust pizza. The recipe calls for Woods Saudi starter, but you may substitute any unsweetened sourdough starter. [Darin]

Add salt, sugar and vegetable oil to starter. Mix thoroughly.

Incorporate flour slowly into mixture until stiff. Turn onto floured board and knead in additional flour as necessary until dough is satiny.

Divide dough into 6 equal parts and shape into balls. Flatten by hand and place on a lightly floured cloth. Cover and let rise 30 min.

Two cooking methods are offered:
1. Preheat oven to 500 F.
Transfer breads to a baking sheet or stone. Brush with olive oil. Top with sliced mozzarella cheese, tomato slices, or other vegetables. Bake 10 min or until bread is browned and cheese is bubbling.

2. Brush the bread with olive oil, season with herbs, and cook on a preheated griddle.
