Helpful Adjustments
You may also want to add:The texture will be more like a soft naan-style flatbread than chewy traditional pita, but still very good.Let the dough rest for about 10 minutes before rolling so the flour can hydrate.Dust with gluten-free flour when rolling because the dough can be stickier.Roll slightly thicker since gluten-free flatbread can crack if too thin.Cook over medium heat instead of high to prevent the outside from browning before the center finishes cooking.1 tablespoon olive oilOptional: 1 egg for extra flexibility and softness
Greek yogurt creates a soft, tender texture with a slight tang.
Brush warm flatbreads with melted butter and garlic salt for extra flavor.
These work beautifully for wraps, mini pizzas, dipping, or sandwich breads.
If using sour cream instead of Greek yogurt, you may need a bit more flour.
