FAQs:
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour? Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour. However, whole wheat flour will make the flatbreads denser and less fluffy.
Why did my flatbread not puff up? If your flatbread doesn’t puff up, it’s likely due to the heat of the skillet not being high enough, or the dough may be too thick. Make sure your pan is hot and that the dough is rolled out thinly.
Can I make the dough ahead of time? Yes! You can prepare the dough ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Let it come to room temperature before rolling it out and cooking.
Can I use gluten-free flour for this recipe? Gluten-free flour can be substituted, but keep in mind the texture might differ. You may need to add a binding agent, like xanthan gum, to help hold the dough together.
