FAQ
1. Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen blueberries, but they may release more juice during baking. Pat them dry before using to minimize excess moisture.

If you’re looking for a dairy-free alternative, consider using crumbled tofu mixed with nutritional yeast for a similar texture and added flavor.

Store leftover flatbread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven to restore crispiness.
