Indian Flatbread

Method

1. 1

   Put the flour mix with xanthan gum, salt, cumin seeds, pepper, and baking powder in a mixing bowl and stir everything together.

2. 2

   Add the oil and three-quarters of the warm water and knead into a smooth dough. A little more water may be needed – it should still be a slightly loose mixture. Knead it on the work surface and use a little cornstarch to prevent sticking.

3. 3

   Cut the dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece out into a round sheet of approximately 15 cm in diameter, as thin as possible – the thinner the better. Brush each circle with olive oil, then carefully fold them in half and press the dough together so that it forms a half circle.

4. 4

   Heat a grill pan or a 23 cm diameter frying pan with a non-stick coating over medium-high heat. Place the first flatbread in the pan without greasing it. Bake it for 2-3 minutes on each side until the bread is lightly scorched on both sides.

5. 5

   Remove it from the pan, place it on a cooling rack, and brush it lightly with olive oil. Bake all flatbreads in this manner and serve immediately.
