NO-YEAST EASY FLATBREAD RECIPE (WFPB, GLUTEN-FREE)
Equipment
- 2 mixing bowls
- 2 spatula
- 1 Non-stick Skillet or Cast-iron Pan
- 1 Rolling Pin
Ingredients
- 2 cups oat flour (organic, gluten-free)
- ½ cup chickpea flour
- ¼ cup tapioca starch
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt optional
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ½ cup warm water
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed (+ 3 Tbsp warm water)
Instructions
- Mix the ground flaxseed with warm water in a small bowl and let it sit until it forms a gel-like consistency (about 5 minutes).
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour, chickpea flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix applesauce, warm water, apple cider vinegar, and the flaxseed mixture.
- Make the Dough: Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring until a slightly sticky dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add warm water gradually until pliable; if it's too wet, mix in a bit of flour or tapioca starch until it reaches a manageable consistency. Let it rest for 10 minutes, and cover it with a wet kitchen towel to hydrate fully.
- Form the Flatbreads: Divide the dough into six equal portions. On parchment paper or a clean surface, lightly dusted with extra oat flour, roll each portion into a ¼-inch thick flatbread.
- Cook: Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan (the best option) over medium heat. Keep uncooked flatbreads covered with a damp kitchen towel to prevent drying. Cook each flatbread for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
- Serve: Serve warm, topped with your favorite spreads, veggies, or dips!
Notes
- These flatbreads are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freeze with parchment paper between layers; these flatbreads can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and consume within 1-2 days after thawing.
- Reheat gently in a pan or toaster oven before serving.
