Ingredients
1 cup sorghum flour
1/2 cup tapioca starch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
3/4 cup warm water
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for cooking
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together sorghum flour, tapioca starch, salt, and xanthan gum.
Add warm water and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Mix with a fork until a dough forms, then knead gently in the bowl for 1-2 minutes until smooth. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
Divide dough into 4 equal portions and shape each into a ball. Place on a lightly floured surface (use sorghum flour) and cover with a damp cloth. Let rest for 10 minutes.
Preheat a cast iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the pan.
Roll one dough ball into a thin circle about 8 inches in diameter, using sorghum flour to prevent sticking.
Carefully transfer the flatbread to the hot pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes.
Repeat with remaining dough balls. Serve warm.
Tips
For softer flatbreads, stack them and cover with a clean kitchen towel after cooking.
These flatbreads are best eaten fresh but can be reheated in a dry pan or microwave.
Substitute tapioca starch with arrowroot or potato starch if needed.
