Where does Madimak flatbread come from?
Madimak flatbread is associated with Central Anatolia in Turkey, particularly the Sivas region, where madimak is part of traditional cooking. Its exact preparation varies between households and local communities.
Is madimak cooked before it goes into Madimak flatbread?
Usually, yes: madimak is cleaned, washed thoroughly, and often cooked or sautéed before it is added to Madimak flatbread. This softens the herb and helps remove the grit that can cling to wild greens.

How should you store leftover Madimak flatbread?
Store leftover Madimak flatbread in a sealed container in the refrigerator once it has cooled. Because the bread contains cooked greens, refrigerate it rather than leaving it out for an extended time, and reheat it before serving.
