    Absolutely brilliant recipe; very light and airy and dead easy to make. I've served it with BBQ chicken kebabs; houmous and with the Good Food low fat Mousaka recipe. My family and friends love it too.

    These were nice, I halved the amount for just us two but kept the whole tablespoon of cumin seeds which made them tasty. I can't say they were particularly light though...perhaps because I had to add more flour as they dough was so sticky.

    Very easy to make and great with curries. I make a batch and then freeze them for later. I've used regular flour sometimes too - which makes them fluffier. I've also made a sweet version replacing the cumin with a pinch of cinnamon and a handful of sultanas - like a flat scone - delicious!

    Easy to make but a little bit frustrating as the doh is very sticky. Definately worth a bit of patience though as these are perfect for curries, especially as shop bough gluten free naan is awful. Will definately be giving these another bash!

    the resipe is super easy. yes, the dough is sticky, so I recommend using a spoon to mix it, not your fingers and dust your fingers with flour when you need to shape the dough. but other than that, it is very tasty and a nice alternative to regular gluten-free yeast bread. without the cumin I can even see this with some butter and jam. and you really cannot beat the quick preparation.

    Fantastic Gluten free flatbreads. I didn't have yogurt in the fridge so i used creme fraiche, which worked out really well. I also used garlic salt and fresh corriander to give them a really yummy taste instead of cumin. I think i may have done mine a bit thick so needed longer to cook through but willl be making them again for sure!! Doesn't taste anything like the horrible supermarket Gluten free breads so will use them daily now and use different flavours as so easy to make.

    Amazing! Gluten-free bread to have with curry was a treat! Used greek yoghurt as had no natural but turned out lovely. Will definitely make again, and about to have the leftover with jam for breakfast...

    Fantastic recipe! I've also experimented with roasting garlic in the oven for 10mins, puree then add to yogurt and flour mixture (omitting the cumin!) for roasted garlic flatbreads! Delicious with any pasta dish etc - we had some just last night!!! Even my 16month old loves them - and gluten free too!!! Fab!!!

    made this recipe but cooked in two batches...one batch came out really nicely and puffed up well, the other didn't rise a bit and came out quite dense...any ideas why this happened or how to stop it?

    Made these for my husband who has recently been diagnosed as having Coeliac Disease, he thought they were OK. I made them to go with lamb kebabs, rice and raita and to be honest I think they would be better served with a curry as the rice, kebabs etc were a bit dry. Having said that will definitely make again, they were far better than shop bought versions.

    Made these the other day and they turned out so nicely. Didn't have the cumin seeds so I added dry rosemary instead. They tasted really good and they were light! I also used them the day after with a little bit of butter and jam, for breakfast.

    I also used rosemary instead of cumin. They tasted okay but I think I must have made them too thick as they were raw in the middle. I cut them in half and re-grilled - they then turned out fine. I'd make again and experiment with sundried tomatoes etc for some added flavour :)

    I read the comments about the dough being too wet, so I didn't add the water, but it was still too wet! so I had to add more flour, and used coriander instead. It tasted good but definitely took longer than 5 mins on each side to fully cook in the middle.

    Are the flatbreads supposed to be a bit 'doughy' inside??

    these were nice. I wouldn't call them light, I had to add extra flour to the dough as it was sticky. I did like them and for me as I do not buy bread... low carbs diet. I did enjoy the treat with home made turkey burgers. yum yum!
