  2. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces, then shape into circles or ovals about ½cm thick. Dust lightly with a little flour. Grill on the baking sheet for 3-5 mins on each side until golden and puffed. Serve warm.

Delicious flatbreads that are perfect for eating with curry! Reduce the water content if you prefer a crispier dough.

I used doves farm gluten free white bread flour and they turned out light and fluffy. I also omitted the cumin seeds and added 1 tsp onion powder and 1 tsp garlic granules. Tonight I am making the same recipe as pizza bases. The children loved these.

OMG!! These are just SOOOOO good. I hadn't cumin seeds (was going to use ground but thought the better of it!) so I used fennel seeds instead. These are by far the nicest bread I've eaten since I had to give up wheat three years ago. So much nicer that shop-bought. I find it difficult to find ready made products cos I have an intolerance to wheat not gluten and I find so many products are made of "deglutinised" wheat now and I'm afraid to chance them. I like travelbunny's idea of doubling the seeds and will try argosdiva's sweet recipe. Not too sure about having with jam for breakfast, maybe just a little butter... Finally: glutenfreechick: I put these on a well-floured baking tray and grilled at around 190 in my fan assisted grill.

I have to avoid all dairy and gluten - so substituted the yogurt with a dairy free version. They were delicious, easy to make and such a good alternative to shop-bought gluten free varieties of bread.

These are excellent. I make them all the time. If they are a bit sticky just add more flour until you get a consistency you are happy with. These are also really nice toasted the next day.

I measured the flour but then added the youghurt and water a little at a time untill i got the right consistency. They tasted great were easy to make and the kids loved to help make them.

Not being able to eat gluten, wheat or yeast I can honestly say this is the most delicious bread I've eaten in years. Absolutely fantastic! And so easy to make. Like some other comments here I found I needed to make the dough thinner than the half centimetre the recipe suggests otherwise it comes out too doughy.

I really liked these; they were easy to make and puffed up well. As far as the dough being sticky, I floured my hands when shaping them. As our ovens seem to have different controls here in Canada, I simply baked them at the highest temperature possible (500 degrees F) till puffed and browned, and they were lovely served with chicken souvlakiand tzatziki.

Loved this recipe. Do need to make them fairly thin, otherwise bit doughy in the middle. We also found it better to dry fry them in a pan (rather than grill them). They puffed up well by grilling.

Has anyone tried freezing this dough? Any other good suggestions for alternative flavourings (ideas on sweet version are great).

Thanks

I used 1 dessert spoon of cumin seeds and halved the amount of the other ingredients to make 4 breads for the 2 of us. I used 0% Total Greek Yoghurt and the mixture was perfect. Definitely not sticky. Will certainly make these again.

I had no self-raising flour. Instead I used baking powder and a mixture of fine cornmeal, gram flour and white gluten free flour, together with greek style full fat yogurt. The result was lovely hot. Have yet to try cold or reheated. I ate it with cheese then peanut butter, followed by jam and honey. Remarkably good. Good bye to bought gluten free bread!!
I will definitely be experimenting with different flavours and flours.

Not bad. I used half the mixture to make the original flat breads , and the other half I omitted the cumin and added some dessicated coconut to make some sweet ones! As I have to avoid sugar and wheat. The second batch(coconut) came out a little better as I learnt by the original flatbread to make them a little thinner as the first were still a little doughy in the centre, I also would add more seasoning as again the first batch were lacking a little in flavour. I would try these again and maybe just play around with different flavours of seasoning. Ps I didn't find the dough sticky.

These are brilliant with a curry but also try different herbs or spices or just plain for a quick and easy wheat free option for any meal accompaniment.
