What can I use flatbread for?

When I first made these flatbreads I was blown away! I used one instead of a bun when I made Italian beef sandwiches and it was phenomenal! Ever since I've been using these flatbreads for everything! I use them as wraps for chicken cheesesteaks and for making my own mini-sized pizzas! They would also be a good flour tortilla substitute for breakfast burritos or fajitas!

Is this flatbread more like naan bread or a tortilla?

If you're looking for an easy gluten-free naan bread or even a gluten-free flour tortilla, you've come to the right place!

This recipe is similar to naan in that it is made with greek yogurt. It also looks similar to naan with its golden brown bubbly texture! Though, it's not a traditional naan bread because it is yeast-free and egg-free.

These flatbreads are more like a cross between naan bread and a flour tortilla. They aren't quite as thick as naan but are thicker than a tortilla, which makes them very versatile!

Regardless of what you call them, these flatbreads are so delicious and easy to make, you'll find yourself making them all the time!

Simple Ingredients

The base of this recipe is a super simple three ingredient dough that uses only:

• Gluten-free flour blend: Use a 1:1 replacement flour. I've tested this recipe and the measurements used with King Arthur Measure for Measure and Namaste Perfect Flour Blend.
• Baking powder: I use Clabber Girl, it is gluten-free.
• Plain Greek yogurt: Full fat or non-fat both work for this recipe. Regular yogurt also works but you may need more flour to get a dough with workable consistency.

For cooking the flatbreads, you'll want to add a little flavor because it is quite delicious this way and otherwise very plain! Use:

• Melted butter
• Garlic powder or garlic clove
• Dried Parsley
• Salt

Feel free to have some fun here! Rosemary and other herbs or seasonings could offer a delicious variation. If you have garlic bread seasoning, you could substitute that as well.

Making Three Ingredient Dough

The first part of this recipe involves making this super simple dough.

• Whisk together the flour and baking powder.
• Use the back of a spoon to stir and mash the yogurt into the flour, until a shaggy dough forms.

Then, you'll knead the dough a bit to form it into a ball.

• Dump the dough out onto parchment paper.
• Bring it together to make a ball.
• Knead with your hands until a smooth ball forms.

Tips for This Step

• At first, the dough may seem too dry, but try to knead it a bit to see if it comes together. For me, the ratio of ingredients has worked every time and forms a nice dough after kneading for a minute or two.
• If your dough remains too dry, knead in a tablespoon of yogurt and see if that helps bring the dough together.
• If your dough is extremely wet or sticky (a little sticky is ok), knead in a tablespoon of flour at a time until you get a dough that isn't so sticky.
• The longer you fiddle with the dough, the harder it gets to work with because the baking powder and yogurt start to activate.

Turning the Dough Into Flatbreads

Now that you have your dough, it's time to make flatbreads!

• First, divide the dough into 6 balls.
• Roll each ball out on floured parchment into a 6-inch circle.
• Brush one side with melted garlic butter.

Cooking the Flatbreads

Cooking is arguably the most fun part of this recipe! When the dough hits the hot skillet, bubbles start to form. The reaction between the greek yogurt and baking powder creates the most beautiful bubbly, golden-brown flatbreads!

• Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
• Place the flatbread, garlic butter side down in the skillet.
• Cover with a lid and cook on the first side for 3-5 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown. You will see steam trapped inside and bubbles forming!
• Flip the flatbread. Cover and cook on the second side for another 2-3 minutes or until the second side is also golden brown.
• Repeat with the remaining flatbreads.

Storage

These flatbreads are best eaten fresh but can be stored for a few days in the refrigerator. Reheat for a few seconds in the microwave or in a warm skillet.

This recipe is easily halved if you don't need so many.
