• Category: Bread
• Method: Stovetop
• Cuisine: Gluten-Free
• Diet: Gluten Free

Ingredients

• 2 cups (280g) certified gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
• 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup warm water (plus more if needed)
• Garlic Butter: 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 garlic cloves minced, 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
• Optional: 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, chili flakes

Instructions

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, parsley, dill, and chives.
2. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the Greek yogurt, olive oil, and warm water until a soft dough forms. Add an extra tablespoon of water if needed.
3. Rest the Dough: Cover and let the dough rest for 20 minutes so the gluten-free flour fully hydrates.
4. Shape: Divide into 6 equal pieces and roll each into a 6-inch round about 1/4-inch thick. Use parchment paper if the dough is sticky.
5. Cook: Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown with light charred spots.
6. Prepare Garlic Butter: Mix melted butter, olive oil, garlic, and parsley. Brush generously over the warm flatbreads before serving.

Notes

Always use certified gluten-free ingredients to prevent cross-contamination. Letting the dough rest creates a softer texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in a skillet for the best texture.

Why These Ingredients Work

Gluten-Free Flour Blend

A quality gluten-free flour blend creates a soft texture without needing several different flours.

Greek Yogurt

Yogurt adds moisture and helps keep the flatbread soft instead of dry.

Baking Powder and Baking Soda

These give the bread a light, fluffy texture without using yeast.

Fresh Herbs

Parsley, dill, and chives add bright, fresh flavor that pairs perfectly with garlic.

Olive Oil

Olive oil keeps the dough tender while adding richness.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl combine:

• 2 cups gluten-free flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon parsley
• 1 tablespoon dill
• 1 tablespoon chives

Whisk everything together until well mixed.

2. Add the Wet Ingredients

Add:

• ¾ cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ¼ cup warm water

Mix with a spoon until a soft dough forms.

If the dough feels dry, add warm water 1 tablespoon at a time.

Tip: Gluten-free dough is softer than regular dough. Avoid adding too much flour.

3. Rest the Dough

Cover the bowl with a towel.

Let the dough rest for 20 minutes.

This allows the gluten-free flour to fully absorb the moisture.

4. Divide the Dough

Lightly dust your work surface with gluten-free flour.

Divide the dough into 6 equal balls.

5. Roll Out

Roll each ball into a circle about:

• 6 inches wide
• ¼ inch thick

If the dough sticks, place it between two sheets of parchment paper before rolling.

6. Cook the Flatbread

Heat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat.

Cook each flatbread:

• 2–3 minutes on the first side
• 2 minutes on the second side

You’ll see golden brown spots and small bubbles forming.

7. Make the Garlic Butter

Mix together:

• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon parsley

Brush each warm flatbread generously.

Serve immediately.

Tips for Gluten-Free Success

• Always use certified gluten-free flour.
• Measure flour with a kitchen scale when possible.
• Avoid adding too much flour while shaping.
• Keep gluten-free utensils separate if cooking for someone with celiac disease.
• Resting the dough improves texture.
• Cook over medium heat to prevent burning before the center cooks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use oat flour instead of gluten-free flour?

Yes, but oat flour alone creates a softer, more delicate flatbread. For the best texture, combine it with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Make sure the oats are certified gluten-free.

Why is my gluten-free flatbread crumbly?

Crumbly flatbread is usually caused by too much flour or not enough moisture. Measure carefully, let the dough rest, and avoid overcooking.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes. Cover the dough tightly and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before rolling.

Can I freeze cooked flatbread?

Absolutely. Freeze the cooked flatbread with parchment paper between each piece for up to 3 months. Reheat in a skillet or oven for the best texture.

Is this recipe healthy?

Yes. This recipe uses wholesome ingredients like Greek yogurt, olive oil, and fresh herbs. It’s naturally gluten-free, packed with flavor, quick to prepare, and versatile enough to pair with many meals.
