Flatbreads Book?
Does anyone have a particular recommendation for a book that is either entirely about flatbreads or at least contains a nice large section on them? Honestly, I'm mostly interested in the Indian flatbreads, but I'd love to learn some of the Eastern Europe, Mediterranean and African flatbreads as well.
I'd also appreciate links to any of your favorite recipes on the Fresh Loaf or elsewhere.

If in your quest for flatbreads you find something, kind of hard to describe, I had some that was almost like a lavash but crispier and very, very thin. I was told it was an Indian type bread. I haven't been able to find any and the restuarant (fusion quisine) has gone out of business. It was served as an appetizer with minced sashimi (tuna). If you run across anything you think might be close would you share. I have tried every place to find something similar.
Thanks,

OR Flavors, is a wonderful book.
While this is not a recipe, it is a source. A friend introduced us to them. He just put them directly over the flame on the cook-top.
