Yeast-free flatbreads - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour for these flatbreads?

Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour, but the texture may be slightly denser. You might need to adjust the water quantity slightly as whole wheat flour absorbs more liquid.

How should I store leftover flatbreads, and how long will they stay fresh?

Store leftover flatbreads in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.

Can I make these flatbreads gluten-free?

Yes, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend with xanthan gum (or add 1/2 tsp xanthan gum per cup of flour) to replicate the texture. The resulting flatbreads may be slightly more fragile.

What's the best way to reheat these flatbreads to keep them soft?

For best results, reheat in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side, or wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 15-20 seconds.

Absolutely! Adjust the dough division for smaller appetizer-sized flatbreads or larger wraps. Just maintain an even thickness (4-5mm) for consistent cooking.

What can I serve with these yeast-free flatbreads?
