Flat Bread Recipe

Ingredient's

1 1/4 cups amaranth flour

1/4 cup water

1/4 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp tumeric 

1/2 tsp tandoori masala 

Salt & pepper to taste

*use organic when possible

Method 

Add all dry ingredients to a mixing bowl-mix well. Add water and mix with a fork or spoon till it forms a dough.

Roll 6 even balls and place back into mixing bowl.

Spread some arrow root powder down on a clean surface and rub some onto your hands to coat them. Flatten each dough ball with palms ( remember to add more arrow root powder when it gets to sticky ) on the board & your hands.

Then with using your finger flatten dough till you get a thin ( approx 5 inch ) circle and it doesn't have to be perfect. I found with using the rollng pin the dough just kept sticking to much even with lots of arrow root powder on it. That's why I used my hands instead. You may have better luck.

Use a wide preferably thin spatula to remove dough from the surface ( as it falls apart very easily when it gets thin ) to a heated oiled frying pan. 

Your pan should be medium to low heat.

Cook on one side till it starts to bubble then flip and cook till done. Approx 3-4 mins per side. For extra crispy, leave on longer.

Remove from pan and let cool. Use right away or store in frig or freezer.

This is my first attempt making a completely dairy & gluten free bread recipe. I got so inspired that I had to make another batch and make something else--some Mexican muffins

I made smaller balls, flattened them the same as the flat bread and placed them in a greased muffin tin, then added some left over Mexican brown rice & bean mixture and topped with cheese. Use a vegan cheese option to keep it vegan & dairy free. I also made a few with out filling and they turned out crispy and I can use them for another time. I baked them at 375 for about 12-15 minutes- still testing these ones. But they were yummy too.

Hope you enjoyed these as much as I did and may you be Nutritionally Well.
