Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 8 ounces gluten-free flour blend (about 1 ½ cups, add ¼ tsp xanthan gum if not in your blend)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup warm water Using warm water activates the flour for better texture.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus more for pan)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients and mix to combine.
  • Slowly pour in the warm water to form a dough. You can use a paddle attachment on a stand mixer or get in there with your hands.
  • Add the olive oil and start kneading the dough until it’s very soft and smooth. Switch to a dough hook or keep kneading by hand.
  • Cover the dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for a minimum of 5 hours, or up to 24 hours.
  • Once rested, divide the dough into 10 equal pieces. Cover them with a towel and let them rest on the counter for about 15 minutes.

Cooking

  • Lightly dust your counter and each ball with gluten-free flour. Roll the dough as thin as possible without tearing it, adding flour as needed.
  • Lightly brush your skillet or cast-iron pan with oil. Cook the rolled flatbreads on medium-high heat for about 2 minutes per side, until they turn a lovely golden brown.
  • Remove from heat and keep wrapped in a kitchen towel until ready to serve.

Notes

Best enjoyed fresh. Store in an airtight container for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, pop it in a skillet or microwave until warm. Experiment with different flours and flavors for variety.
