And also (referring to the no knead link) any bread is so simple a four year old could make it. My kids love to help make bread and kneading is the funnest part for them.
Incidentally, it's never too hot here to make bread.

ha ha, good for you--
american kids are fucking useless!
the no-knead is perfect for breakfast cuz it rises overnight. the warm thing-- i know about refrigerator breads, but warmth= speed, no?
anyway, i live in a small apartment and running the oven for nearly 2h at 450 while it's 40C outside would make life uncomfortable here.
which is why your flatbread is so fucking great for me this time of year-- all i need is a hot griddle for 15 minutes.
which reminds me, i gotta make some for lunch. thanks again!

ps - rolled some very thin and they turned beautiful & crispy, but i think i like the chewy ones better.
