Preheat the oven to 220 degrees.

The mixture should be quite dense and airy (not dry), add Italian seasoning and mix well.

Place parchment paper on a large baking sheet and pour the dough in the center. Use a spatula to spread the dough on the parchment paper, forming a circle like for pizza. The thickness of the dough should be about 0.5–1 cm.
5
Bake the flatbread in the oven for 15 minutes. Then remove it from the oven and carefully separate the crust from the parchment paper with a thin spatula, flipping it gently to avoid tearing.
6
Bake for another 6-7 minutes for a crispier crust.
