Ingredients

• 300 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 200 milliliters Warm water
• 7 grams Fresh yeast
• 1 teaspoon Sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, dissolve the fresh yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until it forms coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Pour the yeast mixture into the bowl with dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.

Step 5

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape each into a ball. Let them rest, covered with a damp cloth, for about 15 minutes.

Step 7

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Step 8

Roll out each dough ball into a circle approximately ⅛ inch thick, adding a bit more gluten-free flour if necessary to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Place the rolled-out dough onto the preheated skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown spots appear.

Step 10

Repeat with the remaining dough balls.

Step 11

Serve the gluten-free Ragheef Masri warm with your favorite dips or fillings.
