Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Tapioca starch
- 1 packet Instant yeast
- 1 cup Warm water
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Za'atar seasoning
- 1.5 teaspoons Xanthan gum
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix the warm water, sugar, and instant yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, tapioca starch, salt, and xanthan gum.
Step 3
Add the frothy yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
Step 4
Lightly oil your hands and knead the dough inside the bowl for 1-2 minutes to ensure it's well combined. It will remain sticky but pliable.
Step 5
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise for about 30 minutes in a warm area.
Step 6
Once risen, divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten gently with your hands or a rolling pin to form thin disks, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 7
Heat a nonstick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of olive oil.
Step 8
Place one dough disk on the heated skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, until bubbles form and the bottom is lightly golden.
Step 9
Flip the laffa and sprinkle half of the cooked side with za'atar seasoning. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula as needed.
Step 10
Remove the laffa from the pan and keep warm by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel. Repeat with the remaining dough portions.
Step 11
Serve warm as a wrap, or use as dippable bread for hummus or other spreads.
