This gluten-free flatbread recipe from Alison of A Girl Defloured is perfect for pita sandwiches, wraps and more! Gluten- free pitas and wraps are easier than you think.
Let's talk gluten-free flatbread:
When was the last time you had a good, gluten-free flatbread? The answer for me, up until I triedthis recipe over atGluten Free on a Shoestring, was never, ever, ever. But thankfully, Nicole’s recipe is super-awesome, and easy to do. It makes a perfect flatbread for all your flatbread needs (which I’m sure are many).

The method:
If you have ever made gluten-free pizza dough–the kind that’s slimy that have to spread into a circle–you will find this much the same process. The dough, even though it’s not yeasted, puffs up in the oven wonderfully and has a great texture. It even holds up to heavy toppings (I’ve got a great post coming later this week with an idea) so that it can be eaten out of hand without tearing. As a bonus, it can be cut in half, then gently cut open with a sharp knife to make a pita! It’s a total win.
Yes, you can make a gluten-free pita pocket!

Look at that pocket! Amazeballs, right? Stuff it with anything you’d put in a regular pita…tuna salad,egg salad, fajita chicken, orquinoatabbouleh. Make sure you use a good quality flour blend when you make it (like mine) and you’re good to go. (Word on the street is that Bob’s & King Arthur blends are no bueno and don’t work with this recipe at all).
What should you serve with homemade gluten-free flatbread? How about homemade Lula Kebab?!
Lula Kebab is a blend of ground beef and lamb, onion, seasonings and fresh herbs. It is cooked on skewers and perfect on flatbread with a bit of hummus or dressing.
Here's one more: Easy Turkey Kofta Kebabs
Though kofta kebabs are typically made with ground lamb, Alison's turkey kebob recipe is a nice, light alternative. The meat can be seasoned and shaped around the skewers well in advance, so with a little prep & planning, dinner can be on the table quickly.

Course Main Course, Side Dish
Servings 6 flatbreads
Calories 173 kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups GF AP Flour Blend we like Pamela’s GF Artisan Blend too
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 extra-large egg + 1 extra-large egg white lightly beaten
- ¼ cup warm milk
- ½ to ¾ cup warm water
Instructions
If you have a pizza stone, place it on the lowest rack of the oven and preheat it to 425 degrees. (If not, that's okay too, you can cook the bread on a baking sheet).
Place all the dry ingredients (flour through salt) in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix to combine. Add the olive oil, eggs and milk, and beat until the mixture comes together (it will be crumbly). Slowly beat in ½ a cup of the warm water. The texture of the dough should be quite wet and sticky, but not runny. Add more water if needed.
Scoop the dough into 6 balls (I used an ice cream scoop that holds about ⅓ of a cup) and place the balls on evenly 2 parchment (or Silpat) lined baking sheets. Dip your fingers in water and spread each dough ball into about a 5-inch circle, starting in the center of the dough and working your way out. Leave the edge of the circle a little thicker than the middle.
Bake the flatbread on the pans for 8 minutes, Lift the bread from the pans, flip over and place on the baking stone for another 8 minutes, or until it is puffed and lightly golden brown. (Or flip and continue to cook on the baking sheet). Remove from the oven and cool on a rack. When cool, place in a sealed bag and store at room temperature. Reheat in the microwave before serving.
Notes
Store at room temperature, warm before serving.
