Gluten free flatbread

I have tried a few different flours lately (cornflour being the biggest misstep due to the hidden sulphites) and think I might have finally stumbled on a lovely combination! This flatbread tastes best when slightly cooled and is lovely paired with a plate of steamed vegetables. 

I have made this twice now and found that changing the flour ratio to a 50/50 mix produced a chewy and slightly gelatinous bread that some may prefer. I liked both but prefer the ratio listed below. 

GLUTEN FREE FLATBREAD
1 egg yolk
1 tsp chia seeds
2 tsp water
75g/2.6 oz rice flour
25g/.9 oz tapioca flour
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp bi-carb soda/baking soda
125ml/4.2 fl oz coconut milk (or other tolerated milk)
Pinch salt (if tolerated)
1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1/8 tsp sweet paprika (not hot or smoked)
1 tsp coconut oil

1. Place yolk, chia seeds and water in a bowl. Stir to combine and leave to sit for 10 minutes
2. Add flours, cream of tartar and baking soda/bi-carb and mix well (a small whisk works well)
3. Add milk, salt (if using), rosemary and sweet paprika. Mix/whisk very well
4. Warm coconut oil in a medium frypan on low-medium heat 
5. Pour mixture into the pan and cover with a lid or large plate
6. Cook until mixture is largely dry - around 15 minutes. 
7. Flip and leave in pan until cooked through. 

Hot tips:
- Use a soft spatula to gently prise the bread from the pan, loosening all around the edges first
- If flipping is difficult, cut the bread into quarters with the edge of a spatula and then flip each piece individually
- I react to all spray oils so using coconut oil from the jar is highly recommended

Enjoy ❤️
