Vegan Protein Flatbread Ingredients
- Flour- I’ve tested the recipe with whole grain flour and Einkorn flour (which is lower in gluten than modern wheat flour) and had great results with both. If you want to try testing them with gluten-free all-purpose flour, please let us know how they turn out!
- Yogurt- Unsweetened plain Greek yogurt works best for it’s neutral flavor and high protein content. My go-to brands for vegan Greek yogurt are Kite Hill or Iceland Provisions.
- Baking Powder– Baking powder acts as a leavening agent to help the flatbreads rise ever so slightly.
- Salt- You can omit the salt to make the flatbreads low-sodium. Otherwise, add 1/4 teaspoon for lightly salted or 1/2 teaspoon for full salty pleasure.
- Butter or Oil- Miyokos butter works great as a dairy-free alternative for cooking the flatbreads on the stovetop. Any neutral flavored oil will work in its place.
