Description
This recipe makes simple, quick, and healthy gluten-free flatbread with only five ingredients. It is easy to prepare and suitable for everyday cooking.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (ensure it contains xanthan gum)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus more for cooking)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface (using gluten-free flour).
- Knead the dough gently for 2-3 minutes, until it comes together into a smooth ball. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour; if it’s too dry, add a tiny bit more water, a teaspoon at a time.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a thin, round flatbread, about 6-7 inches in diameter.
- Heat a lightly oiled non-stick pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Place one flatbread in the hot pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and puffed up.
- Repeat with the remaining flatbreads, adding more oil to the pan if needed.
- Serve warm with your favorite dips, spreads, or as a side to a meal.
Notes
- Ensure your gluten-free flour blend contains xanthan gum for best results.
- Adjust flour or water as needed to achieve a smooth, workable dough.
- Cook flatbreads until golden brown and puffed for optimal texture.
