Flatbread

A vegan flat bread topped with grilled aubergine, curried mushrooms and grilled tomato

This is a recipe for a coconut flour and psyllium husk flatbread containing no egg, that I came across on Epicurean.com and adapted it for a Paleo lifestyle and a vegan flat bread recipe for the days that I abstain from meat eating for religious reasons.

The recipe produces a light and fluffy, almost nutty tasting flat bread in not using herbs and spices to alter the natural flavor of the psyllium husk which adds to the “wholewheat” taste without grains.  Both coconut flour and psyllium husk (available at health stores and selected pharmacies) are high in fibre, so this flat bread renders a filling addition to veggies and meat too.  It may be used as a wrap, or pizza base, naan bread /roti (rolled out thinner) or sandwich with filling of your choice.

That this flat bread is dry fried on a non stick pan or on a griddle pan or electric griddle where no fats and oils are used and does not alter the taste is delightful.  The rolled out dough does spread to create a large flat bread when cooking, so leave space between two as you dry fry or grill them.

The texture is perfectly light and fluffy and somewhat unbelievable that this is a processed flour and grain free bread. For those missing rye or wholewheat in their lifestyles, this is guaranteed to provide you with the taste and better nutrition that the processed and grain-filled flour kind.

    hi prava, loooove your site! quick q, can i replace the husk powder with tapioca flour?

      Hi Candice and thank you! It depends on what the recipe is and what consistency you are hoping to achieve. Pysillium husk and tapioca flour are totally different flours and you cannot inter-change them. Hope this helps.

    Hi Prava I tried the flat bread but grilled them in a pan. The only issue I had that the inside doesn’t seem to cook very well and I can still taste a bit of the gooey dough. How does one fix that?
