320g(2 cups) fine white rice floursee body of post
120g(1 cup) tapioca flour
15gpsyllium husk powder
7.5g(1 sachet) instant yeast
6.5g(1 1/4 teaspoons) salt
2teaspoonscaster sugar
2extra large eggs
3-4tablespoons(60-80ml) melted butter or oilI use vegetable oil
200g(2/3 cup) full fat lactose free plain yoghurt
185-250ml(3/4 - 1 cup) water
Extra oilfor portioning out the dough and for cooking
Tapioca flourfor rolling out
Instructions
Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and whisk until completely combined. The mixture might look too runny, but will thicken as you whisk and as it rests. Cover the bowl and allow to rise for one hour.
Once the dough has risen, use lightly oiled hands to punch the dough down and divide it into 8 balls of dough. If it’s feeling too thin to roll, add some extra flours (equal parts of each). If it’s feeling dry, add a little extra water.
Preheat a large skillet or frying pan over a medium high heat. You can use a little oil for each flatbread or fry them without any oil.
Flour a clean, dry bench with tapioca flour and roll out the dough one ball at a time. I like to cook the flatbreads as I go because they start to stick to the bench if they sit for too long. The flatbreads can be rolled as thick or thin as you’d like. Keep in mind that they puff up a little during cooking.
Cook each flatbread for a couple of minutes on either side until golden brown and cooked through. Store the cooked flatbreads under a tea towel as you work - the steam will keep them nice and flexible. Repeat with the remaining ball of dough, until you have 8 flatbreads.
Serve warm or microwave leftovers to restore them to their former flexible and fluffy glory.
Notes
See the body of the post for flour substitutions as I test them.
You can make a half batch if you only need four flatbreads
I haven't tested a vegan or yeast free version - I will update the post when I do. There is a recipe for vegan sourdough flatbread in my cookbook, Intolerance Friendly Kitchen.
