Servings
3 thin flatbreads
About this recipe
Gluten-free, yeast-free and preservative-free, this recipe requires just 4 simple ingredients, as bread should be made.
Ingredients
140g chickpea flour, or gram flour
280ml water
¼ tsp ground cumin
1 ½ tbsp melted coconut oil (plus more for brushing griddle)
Instructions
Step 1
Whisk all the ingredients together in a bowl. Cover and leave to rest for 2-3 hours at room temperature.
Step 2
Preheat the grill and brush a cast iron griddle or frying pan with coconut oil. Heat under the grill for 2-3 minutes, then remove and pour on a thin layer of batter. Cook under the grill until it has firmed and is well browned, especially around the edges. This can take 2-4 minutes. Continue to make the flatbreads in this way, until you have used all the batter, brushing the griddle with oil and pre-heating in between.
Step 3
Season with freshly ground black pepper and drizzle with olive oil to serve. Best served hot.
