Excellent! Gracias Senor Kool aid! Is this the one that's thicker you were saying?

Dunno.
It probably didn't graduate from high school, so I guess it's thicker.

Jokes aside: this comes out about ½" thick. Nice texture.

I'll try it when I finish what I've got on hand already.

Could well do. At the Indian food fest last month, we made our naan bread on the griddle. turned out fine.
