Recipe from Catherine Saxelby's cookbook "Ancient Grains ".
Method
- Preheat the over to 190°C. Line a large baking tray with kitchen baking paper.
- Sift the millet flour, quinoa flour, brown rice flour and baking powder into a large bowl.
- Stir through the almond meal, xanthan gum, salt and chopped rosemary.
- Add the olive oil, lightly beaten eggs, honey, olives, and water, and stir until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture forms a soft dough. Shape the dough into a round.
- Place the dough round in the centre of the prepared baking tray. Using your fingers, spread out the dough to form a 10-in (25cm) diameter circle of even thickness.
- Using a sharp knife, slash the top of the dough diagonally, and then sprinkle the top with rosemary sprig and drizzle with a little extra olive oil.
- Bake the flatbread for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the base is crisp.
- Set it aside to cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes, and then place it on a wire rack. This flatbread is best eaten slightly warm.
- Note: The dough for this flatbread is softer than regular bread dough.
- Tip: Xanthan gum is often used in gluten-free baking as it does the same job as gluten, giving the dough stability and helping the ingredients to bind.
