Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ¼ cups gluten-free oat flour (such as Bob's Red Mill®)
½ cup potato starch
⅓ cup cornstarch
⅓ cup tapioca flour
2 tablespoons xanthan gum
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm milk
1 egg
¼ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Combine oat flour, potato starch, cornstarch, tapioca flour, xanthan gum, yeast, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer; whisk until well mixed, about 1 minute.
  • Whisk milk, egg, olive oil, and vinegar together in a separate bowl until well combined, about 1 minute. Stir milk mixture in gradually to the flour mixture on low speed; mix until a soft dough comes together, about 5 minutes.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Divide dough into 6 equal pieces; roll each piece on a floured surface to a 6-inch circle. Place on the prepared baking sheets; cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Heat a pizza stone in the oven.
  • Spray pita breads with water and place them straight on the hot pizza stone.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and lightly golden, 5 to 7 minutes.

GLUTEN-FREE PITA FLATBREAD



Gluten-Free Pita Flatbread image

Soft and chewy pita bread made with gluten-free flour. Thicker than a tortilla. Slice the tops to fill them with vegetables and even hot grilled meats, cheeses, meatballs, or falafel. These will hold up to the challenge. They double as thick wraps for shawarma, gyros, or as a flatbread for your meal.

Time 1h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup lukewarm water, divided, or as needed
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 teaspoon honey
1 cup gluten-free bread flour
¾ cup gluten-free whole grain flour
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 100 degrees F (38 degrees C).
  • Combine 1/2 cup lukewarm water with yeast and honey. Mix and set aside to proof, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Combine both gluten-free flours in a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Turn mixer to low and while mixing, add oil and salt. Slowly add the yeast mixture; allow to mix. Add remaining lukewarm water, little by little, until all the flour comes together. Depending on your flour mix, you may not need all of the water or you may need more to create a soft dough. Once a ball forms, knead on low speed for exactly 1 minute; the dough will be sticky but manageable.
  • Use your hands to form dough into a ball. Put it back into the mixing bowl and cover with a warm, damp towel. Turn off the oven and put the bowl in the warm oven. Let rise until almost doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
  • Use a kitchen scale and divide the dough into 6 equal balls. Cover again with the damp towel and return to the turned-off oven; let rise for 15 minutes.
  • Roll 1 dough ball between 2 sheets of parchment paper into a 6-inch round pita; avoid using flour or pitas will dry out or burn. Peel the parchment paper away from the dough (not the dough away from the parchment or it will stretch).
  • Heat a cast iron griddle or comal pan over medium-high heat (7 out of 9 on an electric stovetop). Place the pita on the hot pan and cook until one side has browned slightly and begins to puff up, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip pita and cook until puffy on the other side, another 2 to 3 minutes. Use tongs to press down on the dough; it will continue to puff up.
  • Roll remaining pitas and cook the same way. Pitas are ready to serve when cool to the touch, but still warm.

Tips:

  • Use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients for the most accurate results.
  • If you don't have a stand mixer, you can make the dough by hand. Just be sure to knead it well until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1 hour.
  • When rolling out the dough, be sure to use a lightly floured surface. This will prevent the dough from sticking.
  • Cook the flatbreads in a hot skillet over medium heat. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from becoming dry.
  • Serve the flatbreads warm with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include hummus, tzatziki sauce, grilled vegetables, and feta cheese.
