Why this recipe works

These gluten-free flatbreads are light, fluffy and perfect for dipping into soups, Creamy Butterbeans, Garlic Hummus, Beetroot Hummus or serving with any salad!

This quick flatbread recipe really couldn’t be easier and don’t require any baking skills so anyone can make them! You may be hesitant when you see yoghurt as an ingredient, but yoghurt flatbreads are so perfectly soft and delicious!

Ingredients to make Gluten Free Flatbread

Flour, yoghurt and olive oil on white marble surface.
  1. Gluten Free Self Raising Flour – is easily found at your local, larger grocery store. If you have some leftover then try baking my Gluten Free Doughnuts.
  2. Plain Yoghurt – is the hero ingredient in this recipe! Opt for plain greek or coconut to keep it dairy-free. It creates a perfectly soft, doughy and tearable gluten-free flatbread.
  3. Olive Oil – gives a nice flavour and a softer texture.
  4. Pinch Salt – is optional, but I recommend it for the flavour it gives.

See recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

Substitutions

  • Gluten Free Self Raising Flour – If you aren’t gluten-free, regular self-raising flour will work great. If you don’t have self-raising flour, you can make your own by adding baking powder and a bit of salt to plain flour.
  • Coconut Yoghurt – other plain yoghurts, such as soya or Greek yoghurt, will work well for this recipe.
  • Olive Oil – Any oil should work great! I would recommend sticking to a more neutral flavour.

Variations

  • Spicy – You can use chili-infused oil, add chilli flakes to the bread, or top it with some chillis for a nice spice.
  • Deluxe – There are a lot of ways to make this delicious flatbread deluxe! You could add crushed garlic, vegan grated cheese, or a favourite herb to the dough. Swap the oil for a garlic or chilli-infused oil for a nice taste. One way to really level it up is with what you put on top. Try my Chickpea Tuna Salad, for instance! Or dip it into my Beetroot Soup or Smoked Mackerel Pate.
  • Kid friendly – One of my favourite ways to make this kid-friendly is to use it as a flatbread pizza base! Put my Homemade Pizza Sauce on top and let them enjoy!

Leftovers

This gluten free flatbread is best when served immediately. If you do have leftovers, you could store them in an air tight container for up to two days at room temperature. Re-heat by quickly dry frying them in a frying pan.

Recipe FAQs

Why is my flatbread doughy?

There could be a few reasons for this. Make sure that you roll the dough thin enough. I recommend about 1cm thick. Also, be sure that your pan is hot enough to cook it through.

Can I use regular flour instead of self-raising flour for Gluten Free Flatbread?

Yes! They may be a little flatter, but they will still be delicious. You can also add a little baking powder and salt to help it rise.

What is the trick to making good Gluten Free Flatbread?

Keep it simple! My Gluten Free Flatbread has turned many people away from other recipes and they no longer buy store-bought gf bread – plus it’s only 3 ingredients!

Substitutions & Variations: I have included a list of these in the post above.
To Store: In an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. Reheat in a pan over low heat until piping hot.

    Loved these and such a welcome change from the awful shop brought gluten free bread. I made small ones with fresh basil and have them with cheese for supper. I stored the rest of the dough overnight in fridge and just cook some daily.
