Equipment
- Rolling pin or flat mug
- Griddle or cast-iron skillet
- Large mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour plus extra for rolling and kneading, (I used King Arthur's Measure for Measure
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (Trader Joe’s organic recommended, NOT pumpkin pie filling)
- 2 tsp baking powder not baking soda
- 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar optional for fluffiness
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- Avocado oil or olive oil for cooking and brushing
Instructions
- Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, combine gluten-free flour, pumpkin puree, baking powder, sea salt, and apple cider vinegar. Stir until a soft dough forms. If sticky, add extra flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Knead & Divide: Lightly flour a surface and knead the dough for 1 minute until smooth. Divide into 5 equal balls.
- Roll Out: Using a rolling pin or flat mug, roll each ball into a thin, round flatbread (6-7 inches in diameter). Dust with flour to prevent sticking.
- Cook: Heat a griddle or cast-iron skillet over medium heat, lightly coated with avocado oil or olive oil. Cook each flatbread for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and slightly charred, with some puffing. Flip and cook for 1-2 minutes more.
- Serve & Store: Keep flatbreads warm under a kitchen towel. Serve fresh with toppings or dips. Store leftovers in foil in the fridge for 3-4 days; reheat on a skillet or in the oven.
