Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4 flatbreads
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups gluten free all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup warm water
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of gluten-free all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir together until well mixed.
- Add 1/4 cup of olive oil to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a fork to blend the oil into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually pour in 1/2 cup of warm water, mixing with a spoon or your hands until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Once the dough is formed, knead it gently on a clean surface for about 1-2 minutes until it becomes smooth and pliable.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into a disc about 1/4 inch thick using a rolling pin or your hands. Ensure the discs are evenly shaped for even cooking.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, place one flatbread in the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles start to form and the bottom is golden brown.
- Flip the flatbread and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until it is also golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the flatbread from the skillet and place it on a plate. Cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you repeat the cooking process with the remaining flatbreads.
- Once all flatbreads are cooked, serve warm. They can be enjoyed on their own or used as a wrap for your favorite fillings.
Tips
- Choose the Right Flour: Make sure to use a high-quality gluten-free all-purpose flour blend for the best texture. Some blends contain xanthan gum, which can help improve elasticity.
- Warm Water is Key: Using warm water helps to activate the ingredients and makes the dough easier to work with. It also contributes to a softer flatbread.
- Don’t Skip the Kneading: Kneading the dough for a minute or two is essential for achieving a smooth and pliable texture. It helps to develop the dough and improve the final result.
- Get Creative with Fillings: These flatbreads are incredibly versatile! Try filling them with grilled vegetables, hummus, or your favorite protein for a delicious wrap.
- Cook in Batches: Keep the cooked flatbreads warm by covering them with a clean kitchen towel while you finish cooking the rest. This ensures they stay soft and ready to enjoy.
- Experiment with Seasonings: Feel free to add herbs or spices to the dough for extra flavor. A pinch of garlic powder or Italian seasoning can elevate your flatbreads even more!
