    Making your own bread does not need to be complicated. This easy flatbread recipe is vegan, requires no yeast, no rising time and very little kneading. Up-level your next soup, wrap or hummus with homemade bread.

    Making your own bread is crazy satisfying. Something about turning flour into bread is magical and worth every bit of effort. These skillet flatbreads are easy and almost goof-proof -- which I sometimes need in a recipe.

    How to make flatbread

    Flatbread dough is rolled out and then cooked like a pancake.

    If you can make pancakes you can make these skillet flatbreads.

    The bread will bubble on top when it is ready to flip -- although I'd say it is more forgiving than pancakes, you can check the bottom to make sure it is cooked enough for your liking before flipping over.  

    I like mine a bit on the crispy side so I make sure it's a little browned before I give it a flip. For wraps a little brown around the edges is perfect, too crispy and the bread will only break when you wrap it around you filling so don't overdo it.

    The bread browns nicely when it has been covered in the thinnest film of oil. I have this little oil-spray bottle that is perfect for this kind of thing. It allows me to get the finest coating of olive oil on my bread before frying. And you only get olive oil (or whatever oil you choose to fill it with) -- no propellants or whatever other chemicals are found commercial cooking sprays. You could also just use your hands or a brush to spread the oil on the dough before you put in the frypan. Just remember a little goes a long way.

    You want to oil the dough before you fry it and then place it in a dry skillet. Don't add oil directly to the frypan.

    For wraps, I like to roll the dough thinner so that each flatbread ends up about 9 inches. You need a little extra room to actually wrap around your filling.

    If you are serving this bread with dips or soup or curry, you don't need to roll quite so thin.

    For dinner, we filled these with grilled mushrooms, peppers and onions and our favourite salad dressing. For lunch, I made simple salad wraps - lots of lettuce, a bit of dressing. That's it. A 6 inch round would be more suitable topped with veggies or used for mini pizzas Recipes makes 8 flatbreads.

    Serving suggestions

    • Salad wraps - fresh veggies and your favourite salad dressing.
    • As is, hot off the skillet with your favourite hummus, with a bowl of straight-up olive oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping, or this homemade roasted red pepper spread
    • Pile high with any of your favourite grilled or raw vegetables, whatever is seasonal. Add a yummy sauce or guacamole to pull it all together. Try this feta and garlic drip for a non-vegan option.
    • As a side with soup, a hearty curry or stew. Like this tomato and tofu curry or this easy potato and cauliflower curry recipe. Both recipes are vegan!
    • Make mini-pizzas. Top with a little bit of sauce, some pizza toppings and vegan or non-vegan cheese of your choice. Place in a hot oven for 8-10 minutes, just long enough to warm up the toppings and melt your cheese.

    Vegan skillet flatbreads

    Easy easy homemade flatbread perfect as a wrap for your favourite grilled veggies or serve with dips and spreads for a quick appetizer.
    Prep Time45 mins
    Servings: 8 flatbreads
    Calories: 194kcal

    Ingredients

    • 1-½ cups all purpose flour
    • 1-½ cups whole wheat flour
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon herbs de provence
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 1-¼ cups cold water
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil + more for frying the bread

    Instructions

    • Mix dry ingredients in a bowl with a whisk - flours, baking powder, seasonings, and salt.
    • In a separate bowl whisk together cold water, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Pour over the flour mixture and stir until it begins to come together.
    • Transfer dough to a floured work surface and knead 10-12 times until dough is smooth. You will find that you need quite a bit of flour.
    • Cut dough into 8 equal pieces and let them rest 10 minutes.
    • Form each ball of dough into a small round then roll as flat as possible with a rolling pin 6-9 inch rounds depending on how you will serve them. Larger, thinner rounds make better wraps.
    • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Working one flatbread at a time, brush or spray one side with olive oil and place in skillet oil side down. With bread still in the pan, coat the up-facing side with oil before flipping over to cook.
    • Bread will cook for a total of 6-7 minutes, flipped over about halfway through.
    • Transfer to a cooling rack.
    • Flatbreads can be made ahead. Warm cooled bread in a skillet or in the microwave (10-15 secs) to soften it up before using as a wrap.

    Notes

    These breads cook like pancakes. Check underside for browning, you want a little bit of browning, before flipping over to cook the other side.
    Use the tiniest bit of oil before frying each bread in a skillet. I like to use my hands to rub a bit of oil on the dough then add to the hot skillet. Don't add oil to the frypan.
    You can make these flatbreads ahead of time and store in an airtight container for a day or two. Warm them up - either in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or place in the microwave for 10-15 seconds each.

      Your house had a wonderful aroma of fresh bread baking when I dropped off the kids clothes.
      WOW, it brought memories of when Grandma would bake bread.
      Recipes sounds healthy and easy. Thanks Trish for sharing.

        This is really easy! It does take some time.. . But only because I cook only one bread at a time.

      This is by far the best, EASIEST, most DELICIOUS flatbread I've ever made! It was quick to mix, knead, and roll out; the cooking took the longest part. The bread stays soft, fluffy, and chewy, and very hearty from the ww flour. It's filling and tastes delicious with hummus. To keep it soft, I stacked and wrapped them in a towel after cooking.
      I can't thank you enough for this recipe! Go vegans! =)
