FAQ:
1. Can I make flatbread without baking powder? Yes! If you prefer to make flatbread without baking powder, you can simply leave it out for a denser, thinner flatbread. Alternatively, you can add a small amount of yeast for a more traditional, airy result.
2. Can I freeze flatbread? Yes, flatbread can be frozen. Once it’s cooled, stack the flatbreads with parchment paper between them, wrap them tightly in plastic, and place them in a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw and warm them in a skillet.
3. Is there a gluten-free version of flatbread? You can use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend to make a gluten-free version of this recipe. Make sure the flour blend includes xanthan gum, which helps the dough hold together.
4. Can I cook flatbread in the oven? Yes, you can bake the flatbread in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 5-7 minutes. Place the rolled dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake until golden brown. You may need to adjust the time based on the thickness of the dough.
