Gemma: Hi Bold Bakers.
I’m here with Olivia Crouppen, my alternative baking expert.
She’s got an amazing recipe to share with you today.
I’m going to leave you in her safe hands.
Take it away Liv.
Liv: Thanks Gem.
Even if you are cleaning up your diet, you can still enjoy soft and fluffy and savory
bread.
My three ingredient flatbread recipe is so easy anyone can make it.
It’s made with almond flour, tapioca starch, and coconut milk.
And it’s completely vegan and free of gluten.
Whether you’re trying out the whole keto thing or you want to keep it more paleo, this
recipe is for you.
So the first ingredient in our three ingredient flatbread is almond flour.
I love to bake with almond flour.
For those of you who don’t know what it is, it’s actually just raw almonds that
have been ground into a really fine powder.
Gem actually has a great recipe on BiggerBolderBaking.com if you want to make this yourself at home.
So first ingredient going into our bowl here.
So our second ingredient in our three ingredient flatbread is tapioca starch.
Tapioca starch is actually a root vegetable.
It’s related to the cassava root and it’s just ground into a fine powder.
So we’re going to get this and add it into our almond flour.
Alright.
And now we’re just going to whisk the dry ingredients together to make sure that everything
is evenly distributed.
Cool.
Okay, so the last and final ingredient in our flatbread is coconut milk.
I love to use coconut milk because it adds a lot of richness, it’s a really good source
of healthy fat.
So we’re just going to get this in here.
And even I can’t believe it.
That’s pretty… we’re done.
That’s the whole recipe.
We’re just going to whisk this together.
And it’s going to come together and kinda look like maybe what you would think is like
a pancake batter or if you’ve ever made crepes before.
So it’s going to be like a thin batter.
Okay, so our batter has come together and it’s looking really great.
Since these flours are a little different than your typical wheat flour, you just want
to give them some time to rest, and that’s going to help to thicken everything up and
make for a really fluffy flatbread.
So, as of now, we are halfway there.
Let’s go fry some off.
So we’re going to turn the pan onto a pretty high heat.
Medium high heat is what you want.
And you’ve got a nice, big nonstick pan to give yourself lots of room for your flatbread
to spread out.
I’ve got a little bit of coconut oil in there, but you can totally use ghee or butter
if you prefer.
So we’re just going to give this a minute to get really nice and hot so we have a really
nice, crispy flatbread.
Now that our pan is screaming hot, it’s time to get our batter in there.
I’m going to use a one third cup measure scoop to make sure that all my flatbreads
come out evenly.
So as you can see, you got that in there and now we’re just going to get it straight
into the middle of our pan.
That is the sound of happiness.
Already, it smells amazing in here.
You’ve got like the toasted coconut oil, you know that the almond flour is going to
toast up.
And you can see around the edges, it’s going to start to form little bubbles almost like
a pancake.
So that’s what we’re looking for.
We’re looking for some bubbles around the outside, some nice browning.
So we’re just going to let it be.
This flatbread will make roughly six to eight flatbreads depending on how big you make them.
I like mine kinda big because I kinda like to make them into breakfast burritos.
I like a lot of fillings.
Okay, look at that.
It looks like naan.
It looks like restaurant style naan.
It looks like your favorite pita.
It looks like a homemade three ingredient flatbread.
Okay, so we’re just going to let this cook on the second side for about a minute.
It’s really nice and cooked through.
You just want to get it crisp.
So once we get that out of the pan, we’re going to keep going with the rest of our batter.
Even I am surprised that this recipe is only three ingredients.
I cannot believe that combining coconut milk, tapioca starch, and almond flour creates this.
It is fluffy.
It is brown and crisp and chewy.
It’s so simple and that’s what I love about it.
Just like any kind of typical wheat bread, this is something that is alternative but
just as satisfying.
Check these out.
These are our finished flatbreads.
Look how brown and crisp they are on both sides.
They smell amazing from the coconut oil.
Now we’re going to fill them.
I’m so excited to finally try these.
I’m going to go ahead and fill it with my nice thick sliced avocado.
And then a couple of cherry tomatoes.
I know that Gem really likes avocado and hard boiled egg.
That’s a really good combination to get in here.
Would also go nice with the tomatoes and the green onion that I’m adding.
And I’m going to add some fresh parsley.
But you can add whatever herbs you like or sans herbs, totally fine.
So I’m just popping a few more little cherry tomatoes in here.
Our flatbreads are all done.
They’re all filled with our delicious fillings.
I’m really excited for Gem to try this.
She is the official taste tester and I think she’s going to love it.
Gemma: What have you got for me Liv?
Liv: Gem, these are my three ingredient flatbreads.
Got a little avocado and tomato in there.
Gemma: These look gorgeous.
Liv: Wait for it.
Gemma: I didn’t even wait for you to tell me what it was.
I just started eating.
They’re yummy.
It’s nice.
Do you know what’s kinda funny?
I’m all about texture when it comes to my food and it’s kinda spongy.
Liv: It’s spongy.
It’s like fluffy.
Gemma: But in a good way.
Liv: It’s like…
It’s like a chew.
There’s a chew factor that you get in a flatbread.
And then it’s nice and savory.
And the coconut oil is kinda like buttery?
Gemma: Yeah.
Liv: You know.
Gemma: Do you know what’s funny?
It’s that it’s very savory tasting.
Liv: So you guys heard it here.
These are Gemma-approved.
So now it’s time for you to get into the kitchen and make yourself some three ingredient
flatbread.
The recipe is on BiggerBolderBaking.com and I cannot wait to hear what you guys think.
Gemma: Gemma approved.
Liv: Cheers.
Gemma: It’s really delicious.
I love the texture.
Can I have more onions in mine?
Liv: You can have anything you want.
I kept telling them like Gem would love this with egg, a little breakfast burrito style.
Gemma: I would love this with egg.
Liv: Wouldn’t it be good with egg?
Gemma: Yeah, super yummy with egg.
Liv: Hard boiled.
Fried.
Gemma: Oh, do you know what else?
Ham.
Liv: Ham.
Gemma: Ham and Cheese.
Liv: Ham and cheese.
