Best 6 Gluten Free Pita Flatbread Recipes

GLUTEN FREE PITA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F. If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while the oven preheats. If not, use an overturned rimmed baking sheet
• In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or the bowl of your food processor fitted with the steel blade), place the flour, xanthan gum, Expandex, baking powder and salt. Mix (or pulse) to combine.
• To the dry ingredients, add the oil and then the eggs and milk and beat (or process) the dough until it is very well-combined and parts begin to pull away from the sides of the bowl (about 2 minutes). The dough should be thick and tacky to the touch.
• Turn the dough out onto a very lightly floured surface, and sprinkle it very lightly with more flour. Using a bench scraper or sharp knife, divide the dough into 8 equal parts.
• Roll each into a ball by rotating it in a circular motion on a very lightly floured flat surface. Pat each ball into a disk and then, using a rolling pin and flouring the round very lightly to prevent sticking, roll it out into a round a bit less than 1/4-inch thick.
• Place the disks about 1-inch apart on a piece of unbleached parchment paper. Place the disks on the parchment in the oven (on top of the baking stone or overturned baking sheet) and allow to bake for 2 minutes.
• Working quickly, open the oven and invert the pitas. Allow them to bake for 1 minute and then reinvert and bake until puffed and very pale golden on top (another minute).
• Remove the pitas from the oven, and allow to cool for about 3 minutes, or until they can be handled. Slice each round in half through the center. With a very sharp knife, gently coax open the center of each pita half. Serve warm or at room temperature.

GLUTEN-FREE PITA FLATBREAD

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.

GLUTEN FREE FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together adding milk last and in stages so as not to end up with too wet a mixture. The dough needs to be just past the crumbly stage, and able to come together in a soft ball in your hand.
• Roll out golf ball sized portions to as thin as you can handle the rolled out dough.
• Cook on a greased hot skillet or pan for 1 minute on each side. Keep warm til serving.

BEST GLUTEN-FREE PITA BREAD

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.

3-INGREDIENT GLUTEN-FREE FLATBREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the almond flour and tapioca starch. Add the salt and garlic powder, if using. Add the coconut milk and whisk until a smooth, thick batter forms.
• Melt 1 teaspoon coconut oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once the skillet is at an even, moderate heat, add 1/3 cup of the batter and let it spread out to about an 8-inch circle (although you can make the flatbread large or smaller, if desired). Cook the flatbread on the first side until tiny bubbles begin to form on the surface, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate or wire rack. Repeat with more coconut oil and the remaining batter.
• Serve the flatbreads while warm and crisp. If desired, brush with butter or ghee and sprinkle with chopped herbs--or roll up your choice of optional fillings in the flatbread. Refrigerate any leftover flatbread in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
