This Easy Gluten Free Flatbread is made with only 3 ingredients. Flour, baking powder and yoghurt. No yeast, no oil and no milk. Plus you can make the flatbreads in under 10 minutes.

The recipe is perfect if you want to make your own healthier, gluten-free alternative to store-bought breads and pita. The flatbread doesn’t have any added sugar, preservatives or oils. You can also customise the flour used. I talk more about that below.

Easy

All you need is flour, baking powder and yogurt for this easy flatbread recipe. No need for yeast, oil, butter or milk. You can also add a pinch of salt to the recipe. However, adding salt is optional.

Gluten Free Flatbread (cassava Flour)

Most flatbreads and pitas contain gluten because they are made with wheat flour. You can buy gluten-free flatbreads at most supermarkets. However, they can be expensive and often contain refined vegetable oils and preservatives. Making these easy gluten-free flatbreads is a more cost effective and healthier option.

For a white gluten-free flatbread, gluten-free all purpose flour is your best option. Gluten-free flour is formulated to taste and behave in a similar way to wheat flour. It is typically made from a blend of maize or tapioca starch, rice flour and vegetable gums.

A more wholesome gluten-free option is buckwheat flour. Buckwheat flour gives a more earthy flavor and the flatbreads are slightly less pliable. However, using buckwheat flour gives a higher protein, higher fiber and lower carbohydrate flatbread.

You can check out the nutrition facts for each version of the flatbread under the recipe below. If you don’t need the flatbreads to be gluten-free, you can use all purpose wheat flour, wholewheat flour or spelt flour.

Any thick Greek yogurt works in this recipe. Full fat, low fat and fat-free Greek yogurt all work. Thinner yoghurts that are more watery in texture will make the flatbread dough a lot more sticky. That just means you have to add more flour to bring it together.

For fat-free flatbread, fat-free Greek yogurt works perfectly. I often use Chobani 0.5% fat Greek yogurt. This reduces the overall energy load of each flatbread. Not a bad idea if you plan to eat the flatbread with butter or top it with melted cheese.

For a vegan, dairy-free flatbread, you can use plant-based Greek yoghurt alternatives. Just make sure they are thick in texture for best results.

Baking powder: Baking powder gives the flatbread a small amount of rise, since there is no yeast. If you use self-raising flour, you can omit the baking powder.

Yoghurt: Greek yogurt works best in this recipe because it is thick in texture. You can use full fat, low fat or fat-free.

1. Flour – Buckwheat flour also works. Buckwheat flour gives a more earthy flavor and slightly less pliable flatbread. You can also use regular all purpose flour, wholewheat flour or spelt flour if you don’t need the flatbread to be gluten-free.

2. Yogurt – Thick Greek yogurt (full fat, low fat or fat-free) works best in this recipe. For a vegan, dairy-free option you can use plant-based Greek yoghurt alternatives.

3. Storage – The flatbreads are best served warm shortly after cooking. They become less flexible as they get cold, but you can easily re-heat them in a microwave, oven or hot pan. Leftovers can be frozen between pieces of baking paper and re-heated when ready to serve.

This recipe might seem like it has a lot of steps. But in reality, it is very easy. We broke it down into easy to follow steps and the hands-on time is minimal thanks to the limited number of ingredients (and no yeast!).

Not typically but it depends on the recipe. Most are made from wheat flour, not gluten-free, or corn flour, which is gluten-free. Leavened flatbreads may also contain gluten depending on the type of yeast used.

When using so few ingredients in a recipe it is important that they are fresh and of good quality. It really makes a difference in the final product.

Is Lavash Bread Gluten Free? [answered!] 2023

This recipe works for both gluten-free flour and regular all-purpose flour. I have used the Namaste brand gluten-free flour which can be found online at Amazon and at Costco and Bob's Red Mill All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour blend which has a chickpea base. Additionally, I have used a homemade flour blend and Pillsbury's gluten-free flour blend with equal success. If your flour doesn't have xanthan gum you will need to add ¼ teaspoons.

Making unleavened bread is easy. The key is letting the dough rest. Gluten-free baking generally benefits from a good rest before the bake. The minimum for resting the dough is 4 to 5 hours but I prefer overnight.

Mix the salt, flour, and xanthan gum (if your mix doesn't have it) in a mixing bowl. Give it a quick stir.

Slowly add the warm water. You might not use all of it. But the dough should just come together. You can mix the water with your hands or use a paddle attachment on a stand mixer (my preference).

Once the flour and water are thoroughly combined. Add the olive oil and start kneading the dough until it is very soft and smooth.

When using a stand mixer, I switch to a dough hook to help knead. Gluten-free flour can be sticky, and the hook can help speed things up. It will look something like the picture below.

Cover the dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours and up to 24 hours.

Don't skip this step! Gluten free bread tends to be dry and crumbling. Resting the dough so it fully hydrates is a key step.

Once the dough is rested, divide the dough into 10 equal pieces and form it into small round balls. You can weigh them out if you like. But Yufka is a more casual style flatbread, so I skip this step.

Gluten Free Pita Or Naan Flatbreads

Cover with a towel and let the dough balls rest on the counter for about 15 minutes. The dough is easier to roll at room temperature.

Lightly dust the counter and each ball with gluten-free flour, start rolling the dough. Roll it as thin as possible without tearing the dough. Dust more flour on the counter between rollings.

For the best results, you want to use a cast-iron pan. If you don't have a cast-iron skillet, use a heavy-bottomed flat pan or a griddle.

Gluten Free Pita Bread Recipe (dairy Free, Vegan)

Start by heating your oil over medium heat. Add one flatbread at a time. Cook on one side until the flatbread starts to get puffy spots like the picture below. About 2 minutes.

Then flip the flatbread and cook until golden brown. Another 2 minutes. You will want to very lightly oil the pan in between flatbreads.
