Vegan Soft & Chewy Flatbread

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.
