Wonderfully quick and easy to cook but absolutely delicious served fresh from the pan and warm, these flatbreads are superb as a side to a light meal. Created by Niki Webster of Rebel Recipes, they pair perfectly with her Spiced Carrot and Quinoa Falafels with Slaw but also excellent with Fava Bean Hummus or Fava Bean Falafels.

Makes flatbread(s) to serve 2 - to feed more mulitply up the quantities or make batches with different flours

Ingredients

½ cup (or 75g) Green Pea Flour or Fava Bean Flour
¼ cup Water
½ tsp Baking Powder (gluten-free if required)
½ tsp Sea Salt
Twist Black Pepper
1 tsp Olive Oil

Method

Pre-heat a griddle pan (or frying pan) so that its nice and hot.
In a bowl mix the flour, oil, baking powder, salt & pepper and then add the water. Mix to form a dough and knead a little so that it comes together.
On a floured chopping board roll out the dough and then place on a griddle pan (griddle pans work the best as you get lovely charred stripes on the flatbread but a frying pan also works).
The flatbread will literally cook in a couple of minutes, simply flip it over when the underside is starting to char and cook on the other side a minute or so longer.
