Flatbread with Sardines

Flat bread with Sardines...a simple meal that doesn't compromise on taste! The flatbread has just four ingredients and the topping is flavour packed with tomatoes, ras el hanout, cumin, coriander, sumac, garlic and shallot and pomegranate molasses! James used flour from Matthews Cotswold in the flatbread!
