Easy Flatbread Recipe (no yeast needed)
A quick homemade flatbread recipe no yeast needed! If you love soft, pillowy flatbreads then you’re going to want to try these simple flatbreads. A must for sandwiches or to dip in hummus!
It’s no secret that we love sandwiches in our house. My smoky tofu sandwich, chickpea salad sandwich and green goddess sandwich are some of my absolute favorites that we eat week after week.
Last week I made my eggplant gyro recipe and decided that homemade flatbreads would make that recipe even better. This flatbread recipe is so simple– all you need is a handful of ingredients and you don’t need any yeast to make these!
They remind me of a mix between a flour tortilla and naan. They are thicker than a tortilla and slightly pillowy, like naan. Either way they are delicious slathered with homemade hummus, avocado chickpea salad or any type of wrap sandwich!
