"Yummy flat bread! Quick and easy for the allergy sensitive and economy minded person."

 

• Ready In: 18mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup flax seed
• 1⁄2 cup tapioca
• 3⁄4 cup brown rice
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1⁄8 - 1⁄4 cup water

directions

1. Grind first 3 ingredients, separately 1/4 c at a time for best results, in a spice/coffee grinder until finely ground and powdery.
2. Dump them in a medium bowl.
3. Add baking powder and salt. Mix together with whisk, sifter, or hands.
4. Add oil and 1/2 the water. Mix well until forms a loose ball.Adding water as needed.
5. Separate out 2Tb size portions.
6. Roll into 8 tight balls. Flatten and then press between wax paper as you shape into a round or oval about 1/4 inch thick.
7. Place on a medium height griddle, or skillet. Cook 1 to 2 minutes each side or until dry looking and lightly browned or blackened in spots per your preference. Blackened to me tastes more like Naan.
8. I used short grain brown rice for mine and tapioca pearls. Recipezaar didn't recognize it.

xanthan gum looks like it would help here.

Somewhere between three and four stars ;-) This was pretty good. I used ground flax seed, tapioca starch and brown rice flour, added some xanthan gum and more water than the recipe called for. Also I let the dough sit one hour at room temperature. Easy to make and tasty, will make it again. Thanks for posting!<br/>Made for Healthy Choices ABC.

This is one of my first experiences of wheat free, yeast free, gluten free cooking so I only had Tapioca Flour and Rice Flour in the cupboards.<br/>I made these in lieu of Naan to accompany a lamb curry so added garlic and coriander. Nice addition but they were very heavy. I had included an egg on advice from a friend but I think I might try these again but with xanathan gum next time instead.

Followed the recipe exactly and it turned out too grainy....would not stay together....I will try the recipe again, however I will use tapioca flour and brown rice flour instead of trying to grind it myself. If this doesn't work, I will discard the recipe.
