About this ratio

A weeknight GF flatbread good for wraps, gyros, or dipping. Optional 10–20% glutinous rice flour (mochiko) in the blend — despite the name it contains no gluten; it just creates a stretchier, chewier crumb closer to wheat flatbread. keeps the rolled rounds intact without tearing. Cook hot and fast on a dry griddle — they puff slightly, don't form true pita pockets.

Step-by-step method

How to bake this Gluten-Free Flatbread

These flatbreads come together fast: mix, short rest, divide, roll, griddle. No yeast, no proof. The does the structural work that gluten normally would; the optional mochiko (glutinous rice flour) adds chew if you want a more wheat-pita texture.

01

Mix

5 minutesroom temperature
  1. 1.Whisk dry ingredients in a bowl: (or 80% blend + 20% glutinous rice flour for extra chew), salt, and .
  2. 2.Pour in warm water and oil. Stir with a spatula until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. It will look ragged — that's fine.
02

Rest

15 minutesroom temperature
  1. 1.Cover the bowl and let it rest. The psyllium hydrates and the dough transforms from sticky-shaggy to smooth and pliable.
03

Shape

10 minutesroom temperature
  1. 1.Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces (~70g each). Roll each into a ball.
  2. 2.Working one at a time, roll each ball between two sheets of parchment into a ~7-inch round, ⅛-inch thick. GF dough is fragile out from under parchment — keep rolled rounds sandwiched until they hit the griddle.

A tortilla press lined with parchment works too — fast and consistent.

04

Griddle

1–2 min per side, per flatbreadmedium-high
  1. 1.Heat a dry cast-iron skillet or nonstick pan over medium-high until very hot. No oil in the pan — these cook dry, like tortillas.
  2. 2.Peel one round off its parchment and lay it on the pan. Cook 60–90 seconds until bubbles form on top and the bottom has a few brown spots.
  3. 3.Flip and cook another 30–60 seconds. They may puff slightly. Stack the finished flatbreads under a clean towel to keep them soft.

Use within an hour for best pliability, or wrap tightly and reheat on a dry pan for 20 seconds per side before serving.
