Teff flatbread

Recipes

Soft, slightly nutty, and packed with the goodness of Teff. Perfect for wraps, dips, or as a pizza base

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Teff
  • ½ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour or oat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup warm water (plus more if needed)
  • Optional herbs: 1 teaspoon dried oregano or thyme

Instructions

  • Combine: Teff, Gluten-free flour, Baking powder, Salt, and herbs if using. Mix thoroughly.
  • Add olive oil and warm water gradually, mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until it comes together.
  • Rest the Dough: Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest for 10–15 minutes.
  • Shape Flatbreads: Divide the dough into 4–6 portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle or oval on a lightly floured surface.
  • Stovetop Method: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for 2–3 minutes per side, until lightly browned and cooked through.
  • Oven Method: Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Place flatbreads on a baking sheet and bake 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden.
  • Serve: Use as a wrap for hummus, grilled veggies, or falafel. Serve alongside soups, stews, or salads. Top with avocado, roasted peppers, or cheese for a quick snack.

Tip: Keep the dough slightly sticky; this helps the flatbread stay soft and pliable. Cook on medium heat to avoid burning before fully cooking.
