Chinese flatbread
Chinese flatbread is a traditional Chinese staple, typically made from flour, water, and salt. During the preparation process, flour and water are mixed to form a dough, which is then divided into small pieces and rolled into thin sheets. These sheets are then baked in a flat pan or griddle until they turn golden brown and crispy. Chinese flatbread has a crispy texture and a fragrant aroma, making it suitable for pairing with various ingredients such as vegetables, meats, and tofu.
