This Buckwheat tortilla flatbread recipe is very easy to make, naturally gluten-free and very tasty too! Buckwheat flour has wholemeal texture and taste a bit nutty, which makes it the perfect base for tortilla wraps or mini pizzas.

If you’ve already tried my basic tortilla bread recipe, you know how easy to make this type of bread is.

Why make this recipe?

  • Very easy to make
  • No need to leave the bread to prove or knead too much
  • Naturally gluten-free
  • Buckwheat flour is fine for low-FODMAP diet and easy to digest

Ingredients

  • buckwheat flour plus extra for dusting
  • xantham gum
  • salt
  • water

How to make the buckwheat tortilla flatbread recipe

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl to form a rough dough.

Turn the dough on to your kitchen worktop and knead for a few minutes, until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky.

Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel or a plastic bag and leave the dough to rest for about half an hour. This helps to relax the dough and makes the tortilla dough easier to roll out.

Divide the bread dough into eight equal parts and shape each piece into a tight ball.

Lightly flour your work surface and using a rolling pin, roll the rounds out thinly to 2-3mm thickness.

Place a large frying pan over a medium heat and have ready a large plate and a clean tea towel. When the frying pan is hot, lay a tortilla on it and cook (bake) for half a minute or so, until the underside has few patches, that are dark brown.

Flip over your tortilla and cook for another 30 seconds, then slide it on to your plate and wrap it in the tea towel to prevent it from drying out and getting hard. Keep adding the tortillas to the tea towel as you cook them. If you are not planning on eating the tortillas straight away, you can always wrap them in foil to stop them from drying out.

You can also keep your tortilla wraps in the freezer for up 3 months and just take them out whenever you fancy it.

Batch size

This recipe will give you 8 medium sized tortilla wraps.

Scaling up or down this recipe?

Yes, you can easily half the recipe or double/triple the recipe to make more. If you run out of time to make all your tortilla wraps, you can freeze the dough to make more later.

How to serve use tortilla flatbreads

How to store flatbreads

Your buckwheat tortilla flatbreads will be fine for about 3-4 days when stored in a paper or plastic bag inside a bread bin.

You can also freeze them and keep them for up to 3-6 months in the freezer. When you do this, make sure that you freeze the tortillas individually first, placed flat on a baking sheet.

Once frozen, stack them up with a baking parchment or a bit of plastic sheet between each tortilla to prevent them from sticking together. When you want to eat some, just take out one at the time and leave on a plate (covered with a plastic bag) to defrost in a room temperature.

Unless you are defrosting a whole pack of them, they are not suitable for defrosting in a microwave (as they are way too thin and flat).
