flickr.com/photos/I really like this photo of a woman making flat breads on a steel plate over an open fire. I have baked many, many flat breads this way, but I've also skipped the steel plate and placed the flat bread in a barbecue basket and held it over the flame. That works really well. I have a photo of this, and I'll search for it.
www.whats4eats.com/Making pitas, also known as Syrian bread or pocket bread is quite easy. Just make sure your oven is hot, and if your flat bread is uniformly shaped and about 1/4" thick, it will miraculously fulfill its destiny in the oven. Looks like there is a firebox below the oven proper.

Ancient oven design, yet oven is being fired with propane.
