When trying to stay strict Paleo, there are some food items that you really start missing. But paleo flatbreads have really become my weakness lately, they are SO GOOD!! I started with this awesome 3-Ingredient Paleo Naan recipe from My Heart Beets (so quick and easy!). However, I found it to have too much of a sweet coconut flavor and looked to modify it a bit. This recipe has evolved to yield a wonderful flatbread with a depth of flavor and a great chew. Depending on the size of each flatbread, this recipe makes 8-12 breads.
Ingredients
1/2 cup Arrowroot flour/starch
1/2 cup Tapioca flour/starch
1/2 cup Almond meal/flour
1/4 cup Coconut flour
1 tsp Kosher salt (or to taste)
1/2 cup Full fat coconut milk
1 large egg
3/4 cup water
1 tbsp EVOO
Ghee for cooking (optional)
1/2 cup Tapioca flour/starch
1/2 cup Almond meal/flour
1/4 cup Coconut flour
1 tsp Kosher salt (or to taste)
1/2 cup Full fat coconut milk
1 large egg
3/4 cup water
1 tbsp EVOO
Ghee for cooking (optional)
Directions
Heat a skillet or large frying pan over medium heat until hot. (If you are using a non-stick pan, no additional fat is needed. If you are not using a non-stick pan, you may want to add a very small amount of ghee to the pan in between breads.)Mix all of the dry ingredients together with a whisk in a mixing bowl.
Add all of the wet ingredients to the dry ingredient mix and whisk together until smooth. Let the mixture sit together and meld for about 15 minutes (this allows the flours to absorb some of the fats in the recipe).
For a 6-8 inch bread, pour about 1/3 cup of the batter into the hot pan and spread to a desired thickness carefully.
Allow the batter to cook until the edges begin to get golden brown and the batter appears dry on the top (about 1 minute).
Using a spatula, carefully flip the flatbread and cook on the other side until brown spots begin to appear on the bottom (about 1 - 2 minutes).
Once done, place the cooked bread in the folds of a flour-sack towel (or similar) until ready to serve. These can also be keep in a ziplock bag in the refrigerator for about 1 week.
Notes
You can really do anything you want with these; soft taco shells, Indian naan, sandwich wrap, dessert crepe, the possibilities are endless! I like them so much, I always having at least one plain while I cook them up. ;-)
Enjoy!!
Enjoy!!
