Gluten Free Flatbread Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the yogurt, gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, and salt until a dough forms.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly-floured surface and flatten into an 8-inch (20 cm) disk.
• Cut the disk into 4 equal parts and flatten each part to about ¼ inch (6 mm) thick.
• Very carefully transfer the dough pieces to a nonstick pan preheated over medium heat.
• Cook each side of the flatbread until well browned.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Combine all dry ingredients in the measuring cup, and fill it to the 1 cup mark, halfway up.
• The exact proportions of buckwheat, flax and the other seeds are quite flexible, as long as you combine them up to the 1-cup mark.
• Carefully fill the cup with water up to the two cup mark, and pour in the olive oil and the apple cider vinegar.
• Stir all ingredients slowly and thoroughly, making sure to get to the bottom of the cup.
• Let it soak for at least two hours on the counter, or soak overnight to bake it in the morning. You will know it is soaked enough when the seeds are filling the cup to the top.
• When you are ready to bake, preheat oven to 350.
• Place the silicon mat on a metal baking tray and either spray or wipe with oil to prevent sticking. Flax is really sticky, so nothing but silicon will work without a huge mess.
• If you used all whole grains and you prefer it less grainy you can blend some of the mixture in blender or magic bullet and stir it back inches.
• If you want to add a flavor, like oregano, rosemary, chopped olives, sesame, poppy seeds, caraway seeds, dried onion, etc. stir them in now.
• Using a spatula, spread the mixture to an even thickness on the mat, going nearly up to the edges.
• Bake the flatbread, keeping an eye on it once half an hour has passed. Depending on how hot your oven and how thick your mixture, it may take longer to bake, possibly up to 15 minutes longer.
• Once it is done, use your rubber egg lifter as a slicer to divide it into squares before it cools. Never use a metal knife on silicon mats, as they have fiberglass inside.
• The squares can also be left out to dry to make crackers.
• The flatbread squares can be used as a substitute for toast, for bread, and as a base for bruschetta, garlic bread, and pizza.

Steps:

• Combine flours very well in med. size bowl. Make a well in the centre.
• Drop egg into well.
• Add milk to well. Use less than full amount until you are sure how much you need.
• Mix very well until there are no lumps of flour. Add liquid as needed -- either milk or a combination of milk and water -- until you have a pancake batter consistency. It should be runny. I'm sorry that I don't have a better idea of how much liquid I use, but if you have ever made pancakes, just aim for pancake batter consistency.
• Pour desired amount (again, think of pancakes) into a hot, oiled, cast iron pan and turn to med. high heat.
• Cook about 3 min or until it looks like it's starting to set at the edges (time depends on thickness).
• Flip and cook on second side about 30 seconds to one minute.
• Remove and repeat. Makes about 3-4 flatbreads.
• (The bean flour makes the flatbread more flexible and easier to use as a wrap. So does the egg).
• (The milk makes the flatbreads brown nicer, but water can be subbed with decent results).

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the almond flour and tapioca starch. Add the salt and garlic powder, if using. Add the coconut milk and whisk until a smooth, thick batter forms.
• Melt 1 teaspoon coconut oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once the skillet is at an even, moderate heat, add 1/3 cup of the batter and let it spread out to about an 8-inch circle (although you can make the flatbread large or smaller, if desired). Cook the flatbread on the first side until tiny bubbles begin to form on the surface, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate or wire rack. Repeat with more coconut oil and the remaining batter.
• Serve the flatbreads while warm and crisp. If desired, brush with butter or ghee and sprinkle with chopped herbs--or roll up your choice of optional fillings in the flatbread. Refrigerate any leftover flatbread in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together adding milk last and in stages so as not to end up with too wet a mixture. The dough needs to be just past the crumbly stage, and able to come together in a soft ball in your hand.
• Roll out golf ball sized portions to as thin as you can handle the rolled out dough.
• Cook on a greased hot skillet or pan for 1 minute on each side. Keep warm til serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 100 degrees F (38 degrees C).
• Combine 1/2 cup lukewarm water with yeast and honey. Mix and set aside to proof, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Combine both gluten-free flours in a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Turn mixer to low and while mixing, add oil and salt. Slowly add the yeast mixture; allow to mix. Add remaining lukewarm water, little by little, until all the flour comes together. Depending on your flour mix, you may not need all of the water or you may need more to create a soft dough. Once a ball forms, knead on low speed for exactly 1 minute; the dough will be sticky but manageable.
• Use your hands to form dough into a ball. Put it back into the mixing bowl and cover with a warm, damp towel. Turn off the oven and put the bowl in the warm oven. Let rise until almost doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
• Use a kitchen scale and divide the dough into 6 equal balls. Cover again with the damp towel and return to the turned-off oven; let rise for 15 minutes.
• Roll 1 dough ball between 2 sheets of parchment paper into a 6-inch round pita; avoid using flour or pitas will dry out or burn. Peel the parchment paper away from the dough (not the dough away from the parchment or it will stretch).
• Heat a cast iron griddle or comal pan over medium-high heat (7 out of 9 on an electric stovetop). Place the pita on the hot pan and cook until one side has browned slightly and begins to puff up, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip pita and cook until puffy on the other side, another 2 to 3 minutes. Use tongs to press down on the dough; it will continue to puff up.
• Roll remaining pitas and cook the same way. Pitas are ready to serve when cool to the touch, but still warm.

Steps:

• For Flatbread:.
• Blend rice, quinoa, ground flax, tahini, water, garlic and herbs in a food processor. Stir in sesame and flax seeds, and add salt to taste. Turn mixture out onto a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten the mixture to about 1/8 inch using wet hands (or a rolling pin...or both). Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into 3x3 squares and bake in a preheated 300F oven for 35 minutes Let cool 15 mins then use a spatula to carefully remove your 'bread' slices from the pan. Wrap tightly and store in the fridge.
• For Crackers:.
• Same instructions as above, except you can cut the dough into whatever shapes/sizes you want. Bake 45-50 minutes, until the crackers are golden-brown, being careful not to burn. Let cool 15 mins before carefully breaking them apart. Store in an airtight container (in the fridge if it'll take you more than 2-3 days to eat them...which I highly doubt.).

Steps:

• If using milk, whether cow's or rice milk, with vinegar, mix and set aside for 15 minutes until thick. If it does not reach the consistency of butter milk, use less than 1/2 cup.
• Add warm water to a medium sized bowl; add sugar or honey; stir to dissolve; add yeast; stir; and set aside until frothy, about 5 minutes. If it does not bubble start over with fresh yeast.
• In a large bowl, add remaining dry ingredients; whisk thoroughly.
• Add buttermilk, beaten eggs, to yeast mixture; whisk well.
• Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients; using a rubber spatula, stir until it reaches a soft dough the consistency of creamy mashed potatoes; allow to rest for 20 minutes.
• Scatter 2 tablespoons potato starch to a clean, flat surface; scoop 1/3 cup at a time of dough; add to floured surface; knead with dusted hands; shape into a disk as wide as your spatula.
• Using a wide, thin spatula, transfer to preheated cast iron skillet.
• Using the back of your fingers or a pastry roller dusted with starch, immediately flatten and distribute dough in pan working from the center, moving outwards.
• Fry on each side for approximately 2 1/2 minutes; coat tops of fully cooked naan with salted butter.
• Repeat with remaining dough adding additional potato starch as needed for kneading.
• Serve warm and store uncooked dough covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
