Quick Gluten Free Pan-Fried Flatbread
This wonderfully versatile pan-fried bread is just as good as a side for salads and dips as it is as a wrap for sandwiches or even as a standalone snack with a drizzle of olive oil.

The beauty of flatbread is that it can be served with practically anything, and the gluten free pan-fried bread in this recipe is no exception. The pillowy, soft and lightly charred dough is a match made in heaven for dips, salads, soups and stews, but it’s also pretty great on its own. We particularly recommend it with a delicious dip and fresh vegetables, like in our recipe for gluten free flatbread with hummus and vegetables. Experiment by adding fresh herbs such as rosemary and thyme to the dough, and you’ll soon have an endless line-up of tasty flatbreads to rise (but not too much) to any occasion.
- Mix the flour and salt in a bowl. Make a well at the centre of the flour.
- Pour in the yeast and sugar. Then pour in about 1/3 of the liquid.
- Wait for approximately 10 minutes until the yeast makes bubbles.
- Add the remaining liquid and olive oil and mix it into a soft dough.
- The dough should now come away from the bowl.
- Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it sit for 10 minutes.
- Place the dough on a floured surface and cut it into four pieces.
- With wet lightly oiled hands, roll the dough into balls.
- Flatten the balls with your palm to form focaccia or flatbreads.
- Arrange the focacce on floured oven parchment and leave to sit for 10 minutes in a warm place.
- Heat a non-stick pan and brush lightly with olive oil.
- Cook the breads on both sides, about 3 minutes per side, until they are golden brown.
