Super easy gluten free flatbread – made with only six ingredients! Grain Free + VeganÂ
I didn’t wake up the other day planning on coming up with a gluten free flatbread.
I think I had planned on making some more sweet potato breakfast cookies (recipe coming soon!). But then of course one thing led to another and I ended having an impromptu picnic with the husband and a wander round a few local walking spots which resulted in us picking 3 1/2 pounds of wild blackberries.
Not bad for what was supposed to a pretty average Tuesday.
When trying to brainstorm all the different ways we could use up our new haul I remembered a blackberry & ricotta pizza I had made a few years ago from The Food Charlatan. I had made it the last time we were loaded up with wild blackberries and it was soooo good!
Which brings me back to these flatbread! Instead of making a full pizza I thought I’d go for a lighter/easier base that could be whipped up in no time. Realising that I don’t actually have a flatbread recipe on here yet – I got to work.
How to Make: Gluten Free Flatbread
Like a said earlier – this recipe is super simple and made up only six ingredients:
Chickpea Flour (also known as gram flour or garbanzo flour)
Tapioca Flour
Milk (I use dairy free, but you can use a dairy based milk if you prefer)
Baking Powder
Olive Oil
& Salt
To spruce these up feel free to add a few extra herbs & spices (think garlic, oregano, thyme, etc).
The framework for the recipe is based on my three ingredient tortillas I shared a while back which uses a combo of chickpea flour & tapioca flour.
To make – just mix together your dry ingredients, add in the wet and stir until a sticky dough forms. The dough should divide up easily into four equal pieces that you then roll out and dry fry on the stove for a few minutes on each side.
Easy as that!
This recipe would be a great side to your favourite curry or perfect for your next pizza night. I myself have a date with these flatbreads and a bowl of fresh blackberries.
So delish!

Gluten Free Flatbread
Super easy gluten free flatbread - made with only six ingredients! Grain Free + VeganÂ
Ingredients
- 1 cup | 110 grams chickpea flour
- 1 cup | 100 grams tapioca flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoons | 130 ml warmed milk of your choice (almond, coconut, rice, dairy etc)
- 2 tablespoons | 30 ml olive oil
Optional Add Ins
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried spices (oregano/thyme/basil/ etc)
Instructions
- Whisk together the chickpea flour, tapioca flour, baking powder and sea salt until combined.
- Stir in the olive oil and warmed milk until combined. Your mixture should be a thick, sticky ball of dough but come together in the end. If the dough feels too dry add a little more olive oil.
- Divide up the dough into 4 equal balls. Once at a time roll the dough balls out on a lightly floured surface until flat and even and about 6 inches wide in diameter.
- After rolling the dough out warm a medium non stick pan on a low heat. If you don't have a non stick pan lightly grease you pan and lay out the rolled dough. Let cook for about 3-4 minutes or until lightly golden on one side, then flip over and cook the other side. Repeat this process with the remaining dough until complete.
Notes
If the dough feels too dry add another 1-2 tablespoons of milk (one at a time) until it's sticky, but easy to roll out. Chickpea flour can be a bit tricky to work with when making dough like things so just keep that in mind when making these.Â
Carmen says
Thank you so much for this flatbread recipe. I used Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Blend and used half butter and half olive oil for the fat. I added dry chives and garlic powder, but I’d like to try it with fresh herbs next time. I live in my trailer full time and need bread recipes that do not require an oven since we dry camp in the wilderness most of the time. I have a blog , livinginbeauty.net and I will share your link when I post about gluten-free camp cooking. Best.

Hi Carmen! I’m so glad you were able to enjoy this! I just took a look at your site and I love what you guys are doing – thanks for sharing!
Kisha says
These were very good. The only gluten free flatbread recipe that I tried that actually turned out good.
Sarah Nevins says
Yay! Thanks Kisha – so glad you liked them!
Andrea says
Hi, I was wondering if I could leave out the baking powder as I can not have it.
Sarah Nevins says
Hi Andrea! That’s alright! You won’t get the same lift without the baking powder but it won’t change the outcome other than that too much.
Sara h says
Followed the recipe to the T. Turned out terrible. Wouldn’t roll at all, tasted terrible too.
Sarah says
Hi Sara! Sorry to hear you didn’t care for these! The dough can be a little funny to work with a first which is why I mention in the notes about adding a little more milk to roll it out. At any rate – thanks for taking the time to come back and letting me know what you thought!
Alexandria W. says
I just made these and used almond milk. I included the optional add-ins of garlic powder and spices (used a combination of dried basil and Garam masala: strange Friday night craving that turned out well).
I am so happy with the results!!! I am currently trying to use the pantry items I have on hand, in order to stay on budget and reduce waste. I am so happy that I made this recipe, rather than going out and buying something I did not need.
They cooked perfectly and have a great texture. Thanks for a great recipes!
Sarah says
That’s so great! I know those random, Friday night cravings very well so I’m especially glad these filled that hole 😀 Thanks so much for coming back to let me know what you thought!
MATEEKA says
HI SarahI tried the recipe using quinoa and millet flour. The dough was not perfect but workable, and my husband and two kids loved it. Thank you for the recipe.
Sarah says
Ooh that’s really helpful to know! Thanks so much for sharing and I’m glad you were able to get something out of it!
Lorena Agramonte says
Hi! So excited to try this recipe!! I was wondering if I can switch tapioca flour for cassava flour?
Thanks! xx
Sarah says
Hi Lorena! I’m sorry but I don’t really have any experience baking with cassava flour so I’m not sure how it would translate and I wouldn’t want to steer you wrong
Salam says
Hey i loved the recipe am wondering can i bake the bread instead?
Sarah says
Yes! I actually use this as a pizza crust every now and then – bake at 425°F/220°C for about 12-15 minutes or until the edges start to turn a little golden. Glad you liked them!
Andrea says
Hi! You said you use it as a pizza base. Just wondering do you cook it before putting the topping on?
Sarah Nevins says
Hi Andrea! Yes I do – cook these as shown here and then add your toppings. Basically you want to cook the toppings just enough to heat through/melt the cheese if needed
Deb says
I’m looking for a bread like this! But cant have the chickpea flour. Can i use coconut or almond flour?
Sarah says
Hi Deb! I tried this using almond flour when I ran out of chickpea and it did work, but it ended up needing more almond flour than chickpea flour. It was quite awhile ago though and I didn’t record how how many extra spoonfuls I needed. If you want to try it out I recommend making it with the amounts shown as is but subbing chickpea for almond and then adding an extra tablespoon of almond flour until the dough comes together. It will break apart more easily without chickpea flour so you need to be a little more gentle but that should work!
Bjorn says
I made these for me and my wife. I added fennel seeds into the dough & cooked some halloumi to put on top. Very good!
Sarah says
That sounds amazing – definitely going to try these your way next time! Thanks so much for coming back to leave a comment/review letting me know how it went! So glad you both enjoyed them!
