This bread looks so delicious. It reminded me of the traditional lebanese saj bread with cheese or zaatar on it .

Loved the bread idea - the wok - what a hoot that would be. I make bread all the time, sour dough, pitta's, foccacia's etc I am going to try this. BUT I want to know how many serves this quantity would make?
