Ingredients & Substitutions
Here is everything you need to make the best gluten free greek yogurt flatbread recipe:
Large Egg: Substitute with a flax or chia egg (ground flaxseed or chia seeds mixed with water) for a vegan option.
Almond Flour: See the table for flour substitutions.
Tapioca Flour: A gluten-free flour blend (w/o xanthan gum) can be used in the same amount instead of tapioca flour.
| Flour | Measurement |
|---|---|
| Almond Flour | 1-1/3 cups almond flour + 1/4 cup tapioca flour |
| Oat Flour | 2/3 cup |
| Cassava Flour | 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons |
| 1 to 1 Gluten-Free Flour | 2/3 cup |
| All Purpose Flour | 2/3 cup |
| Wheat Flour | 3/4 cup |
Plain Greek Yogurt: I like to use full-fat greek yogurt. For a dairy-free version, replace regular plain yogurt with coconut yogurt or any dairy-free yogurt.
Light Olive Oil: Use avocado oil, extra virgin olive oil, or melted coconut oil for a different healthy fat option.
Apple Cider Vinegar: Swap with white vinegar or lemon juice for a similar acidity.
Baking Powder: This works as the leavening agent to make the bread fluffy.
Baking Soda: Omit or use more baking powder in place of baking soda if needed.
Garlic Powder: Use minced fresh garlic or garlic salt, but adjust the salt content if using garlic salt.
Onion Powder: Substitute with finely minced fresh onion or shallots for a stronger onion flavor.
Salt: Swap with sea salt, Himalayan pink salt, or reduce the amount for a lower-sodium option.
How to Make My High-Protein Flatbread Recipe
Here are easy, detailed, step-by-step instructions for making my easy sous vide pork roast recipe. The instructions are also repeated in the recipe card at the bottom of this blog post.
Step 1: Mix the Flatbread Dough
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 egg, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon light olive oil, and 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar until smooth and well combined. Add the dry ingredients, including 1-1/3 cups almond flour, 1/4 cup tapioca flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mash with a sturdy spatula until well-blended. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Step 2: Shape the Flatbreads
Cut two squares of parchment paper slightly larger than the desired size of the flatbreads. Pour about 1 teaspoon of oil in your hands. Spread a small amount of oil on the parchment paper so the dough doesn’t stick.
Scoop out a ball of dough and gently roll it into a ball in your oiled hands. Then set the dough on the parchment and cover with the second piece of parchment paper. Press down on the paper using your hands or a rolling pin, and flatten the dough into a disc about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 3: Cook the Flatbread
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pick up the flatbread and the bottom piece of parchment paper. Flip it over in the pan and lift the parchment paper off the flatbread. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown and puffed, adjusting the heat as necessary to avoid burning.
Repeat with the remaining dough portions. Spread soft butter with a pastry brush on the top surface of the flatbreads if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy with your favorite toppings or dips!
Helpful Recipe Notes
Dough Consistency: Unlike other flatbread recipes, avoid rolling these in extra flour before flattening. To keep the dough light and fluffy, maintain its moisture and lightly oil your hands while shaping, which results in a softer texture compared to other no-yeast flatbreads.
Perfect Thickness: For a soft and flexible naan-style bread, aim to roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch thick. Thicker flatbreads may take longer to cook, while thinner ones will be crispier.
Adjust Seasonings: Feel free to adjust the garlic and onion powder based on your personal taste. You can also add herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra flavor.
Pan-Frying Tip: Make sure your skillet is hot before adding the dough to prevent sticking and to achieve that beautiful golden-brown crust.
Folding: Keep in mind that using gluten-free flour makes them soft yet sturdy, but they do not have gluten like traditional naan bread. So they’re not as ‘pliable’ and can tear when folded 🙂
