Origins of Flatbread
In its simplest form, flatbread is an unleavened (a.k.a. flat) bread made from flour, water, and salt. Its origin dates back to ancient times with evidence of flatbread being enjoyed in Mesopotamia, ancient Egypt, and the Indus civilization. Hundreds of variations (including our Garlic Herb Flatbread and Easy Vegan Naan) now exist and are enjoyed throughout the world. And now, our gluten-free version is here and ready to be part of the party!
How to Make Gluten-Free Flatbread
When it comes to making gluten-free flatbread, the key is the right combination of gluten-free flours, fats, a boost of fluffiness, and some added flavors. For the flours, we include coconut flour and oat flour for heartiness and then lighten it up with potato starch (known for its fluffy, cake-like texture in baked goods). Coconut milk and olive oil add healthy fats to prevent sticking and add moisture as well as flavor. And though leavening is not always used in flatbread, it’s important with gluten-free baking — no hockey puck flatbreads allowed here. Luckily, baking powder and apple cider vinegar combine to create a fluffy, foamy reaction that adds lightness. For next-level deliciousness, we add sea salt, garlic powder, and oregano. After mixing the dough ingredients, the flatbread is rolled between sheets of parchment paper for mess-free rolling. Then when ready to eat, all that’s left to do is cook the flatbread in a hot skillet for a few minutes per side. We hope you LOVE this gluten-free flatbread!
