Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 4 flatbreads
Ingredients
- Coconut flour
- Ground flaxseed
- Water
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Baking powder
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup coconut flour, 1/4 cup ground flaxseed, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk dry ingredients thoroughly to eliminate any lumps.
- In a separate small bowl, mix 1/4 cup warm water with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Stir until well combined.
- Gradually pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to create a uniform dough. Let the mixture rest for 3-5 minutes to allow the flaxseed and coconut flour to absorb moisture.
- If the dough seems too dry, add water one teaspoon at a time. The consistency should be pliable but not sticky.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Place each portion between two sheets of parchment paper and gently roll or press into thin, round flatbreads approximately 1/8 inch thick.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Do not add extra oil to the pan.
- Carefully transfer each flatbread to the heated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and firm.
- Remove flatbreads and let cool on a wire rack for 2-3 minutes to maintain crispness.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Tips
- Consistency is key: The dough should be moist but not sticky. If it's too dry, add water gradually, one teaspoon at a time.
- Resting time matters: Let the dough sit for 3-5 minutes after mixing to allow the coconut flour and flaxseed to absorb moisture properly.
- Use parchment paper when rolling: This prevents sticking and helps you create uniformly thin flatbreads.
- Medium-low heat is crucial: Too high heat will burn the flatbreads, while too low won't give you that perfect golden-brown color.
- Don't skip the cooling step: Letting the flatbreads rest on a wire rack for a few minutes helps them maintain their crisp texture.
- Store smartly: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
- Experiment with seasonings: Try adding herbs or spices to the dry mix for extra flavor variations!
