Gluten Free Flatbread
My dear readers here is the gluten-free flatbread recipe I promised you to go along with that delicious chicken saag.
This recipe came about by accident. One day I was mixing up a batch of pancakes and I decided to add a bit of psyllium husk powder to the mix. The pancakes turned out really bread like, which I suppose isn’t a disaster except I prefer my pancakes fluffy. I later perfected the fluffiest gluten-free pancakes you have ever eaten but kept that experiment in mind. Over time I tweaked the recipe a bit, playing around with different combinations of flours and that experiment has now evolved into this yummy gluten-free flatbread.
My family loves Indian cuisine. In fact my husband and I could probably eat curry everyday of the week. What makes a better partner for curry than basmati rice and flatbread? Roti, naan, chapati, paratha any kind of flatbread will do. If you’re gluten-free and love flatbread as much as I do then you really need to make these. They’re really easy to whip up. If you can make pancakes then you can make these gluten free flatbread. I fry them in my mini cast iron skillet
. I just love that thing! It’s the perfect size for any single serving type dish. I fry pancakes, eggs, flatbreads etc in it resulting in the perfect size and shape every time!
Serve with your favourite curry!

This looks great. I love GF bread recipes to play with. Thank you.
Thanks Jessica. Hope you like it!
Yum! I love chicken curry…I’ll be keeping this recipe in my back pocket for the next time I make it!
Good idea Jennifer!
This looks delicious! I love flatbread. Pinned it.
Thanks for sharing Emily!
NICE! Love this!
Thanks Renee!
These look great Krystal! What could I substitute the yoghurt for though, do you have any suggestions to make it vegan? Thanks :)
Hi Kyra! I think any vegan yoghurt will do like coconut, rice or soy. Also, I sometimes make a ‘buttermilk’ by souring almond milk with 1 tsp of ACV. That could work here as well. You would have to adjust the amt to get a very thick pancake consistency. Hope this helps!
They look delicious, especially with the Indian dish!! Yummy!!
Thanks Megan!
My little girl, who has a plethora of allergies, loves bread and curry. Must give your recipe a go, but first, I’ll have to source the ingredients :) Pinned to my free from recipes board.
Thanks a lot for sharing Mel! Have a look around I’m sure she would like my Gluten free bread recipe as well. It’s pretty easy and actually looks and tastes like ‘real’ bread ..:) Recipe here http://naturalfitfoodie.com/easy-newbie-gluten-free-bread/
Psyllium husk powder is amazing! I just wish I knew how to incorporate it into new recipes. I rely on others who have blazed that trail before me. ;) That flat bread looks delish!
Thanks Lindsey! I replace it for gum in gluten free recipes. That’s a good place to start.. :)
This flatbread sounds so delicious…I definitely need to give it a try sometime! Thanks for linking up, I pinned this!

This looks delicious! You’d never know it was grain-free.
Thanks Loriel!
That looks delicious! Thanks for sharing this with us this week at the Best of the Blogosphere! I’m off to read your pancake recipe asap!! My daughter and I are gluten free, and I don’t like experimenting with the different flours. Anytime I find a great recipe I am so excited!! :)
Thank you Amber! I do all the experimenting so you only have to enjoy.. ;) Hope you guys like it.
Great looking recipe, but I just wanted to say that when you tag something “paleo” on foodgawker and it isn’t, that is really annoying and disappointing.
Hi Lucy. Thank you for your comment and for alerting me to this error. I don’t know how what happened there, this recipe is clearly not paleo. I have contacted Foodgawker and the Paleo tag will be removed. Sorry and thanks again!
