Recipes and Tips:

• To keep cooked flatbread moist and warm, wrap in a slightly damp cotton towel. You can also use a tortilla holder.
  Any remaining Flatbread or Tortillas can be stored in your refrigerator. Stack the tortillas/flatbread with a small piece of wax paper dividing layers. Seal the stack in a plastic bag and store. Tortillas/Flatbread can be reheated using your appliance by allowing them to come to room temperature first and cooking on the Bottom Cooking plate only.

• You can also place Tortillas/ Flatbread in your microwave for 30 seconds and serve!
