Vegan Soft & Chewy Flatbread

Yield: 8 flatbreads
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Resting Time: 1 hour
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal mixed with 3 tablespoons water (as a flax egg)
  • Vegan butter or olive oil for brushing

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Flax Egg:
    • In a small bowl, mix flaxseed meal with water and set aside to thicken, creating a flax egg.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients:
    • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the warm water, olive oil, and the prepared flax egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  4. Knead and Rest:
    • Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rest for 1 hour.
  5. Divide and Shape:
    • Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Divide the rested dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into a round flatbread.
  6. Cook the Flatbreads:
    • Cook each flatbread on the preheated skillet for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until bubbles form and the flatbread puffs up. Brush with vegan butter or olive oil during cooking.
  7. Serve:
    • Stack the cooked flatbreads on a plate and cover them with a cloth to keep them warm. Serve them with your favorite vegan dips or fillings.
