Ingredients
  

Build the levain

  • 30 g active starter
  • 60 g warm water
  • 20 g light buckwheat flour
  • 40 g brown rice flour

Make a paste

  • 80 g brown rice flour
  • 120 g nearly boiling water

Mix the dough

  • 85 g tapioca starch
  • 30 g quinoa flour
  • 90 g brown rice flour
  • 65 g sour cream, room temperature dairy or non-dairy
  • 60 g warm water
  • 9 g whole psyllium husk
  • 1 large egg, room temperature or make a flax egg
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt two cloves, grated garlic.
  • 2 cloves garlic

Instructions
 

  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the brown rice flour and gradually add the hot water, stir and combine to make a paste. Keep working the dough with a spoon until it is smooth. Set it aside to cool.
  • In a small bowl add the psyllium husk, pour in the water and immediately whisk the psyllium, to prevent lumps forming. Let the gel sit for 5 minutes before adding it to the brown rice flour paste.
  • Add the sour cream to the brown rice flour paste and the psyllium gel, then beat in the egg until just combined.
  • Add the brown rice flour, tapioca starch and quinoa flour to the wet ingredients and mix well with a kitchen mixer with a dough hook, or with your hands, until there is no loose flour.
  • Leave the dough on the counter at room temperature for 20 minutes and then place it in a covered bowl in the fridge. Let it rest for a few hours or preferably overnight before using.
  • Divide the dough into equal portions or just leave it in one large lump, and spoon out the required amount for use. Shape the dough into a ball.
  • Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a round disc, on a surface that is well dusted with brown rice flour. Make sure to roll out each disk as thin a possible, but not too thin that it tears. If you do make a small hole just squash a little dough into the area and smooth it out.
  • Heat oil in a cast iron pan over medium heat.
  • Gently place the flattened dough discs into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides. About 3 to 4 minutes per side. (Alternatively fill one side, fold the top over the filling, seal the edges and fry)
  • Remove the fried bread from the pan and place them on a plate to add your favourite fillings
  • The flatbread dough keeps well in the fridge, but the cooked flatbread is best eaten within 1 day.
