    Soft garlicky herb flatbreads make a great side with any meal, with soups, salads, dips, curries and more. This easy Garlic herb Flatbread has no yeast, doesn’t need hours to rest, and has a secret ingredient. Instead of non dairy yogurt, this flatbread uses aquafaba!

    Aquafaba is the liquid from a can of chickpeas or the viscous liquid remaining when you cook chickpeas at home. This viscous liquid has many uses like making eggless meringue, macarons, and used in many places instead of eggs/egg whites, as a binder for baking and more. Find out more about chickpea brine and all the amazing creations on Vegan Meringue Hits and Misses Facebook Group.

    For this flatbread, aquafaba adds moisture, binding and the fluffyness. Make the dough for the flatbread, roll it out, grill or cook then brush with the herbed garlic butter mixture, done! You can also make these flatbreads into Garlic Naan. Press the garlic and cilantro into the rolled out flatbread along with nigella seeds, and then cook. Easy and ready within minutes. No yeast, no waiting for a hour for the dough to sit and rise.

    You can make this bread with yeast, use 1 tsp active yeast or use this yeasted Garlic Naan. It takes me the same time to put the dough together for with or without yeast, so personally I prefer the with yeast bread. To make this bread gluten-free, use the gluten-free blend used for gluten-free Naan in my book, or use a gluten-free blend with gum like Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour.

    Ingredients

    Garlic herb butter:

    • 2 tbsp vegan butter or olive oil
    • 2 to 3 large cloves of garlic minced or crushed
    • 2 tbsp fresh herbs, finely chopped. I used cilantro and dill. use any of parsley, tarragon, basil, rosemary, thyme

    flatbread:

    • 1 cup (125 g) unbleached white flour or all purpose flour
    • 1 tsp baking powder
    • 1/8 tsp (0.13 tsp) baking soda
    • 1/3 tsp (0.33 tsp) salt use less if your aquafaba is highly salted
    • 1/3 tsp (0.33 tsp) garlic powder
    • 2 tbsp chopped herbs of choice

    Wet

    • 2 tsp oil
    • 3 tbsp aquafaba chickpea water, thick viscous water from a can of chickpeas, or from home made chickpeas , or use non dairy yogurt.
    • 2.5 tbsp non dairy milk
    • 1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) lemon juice
    • a pinch of sugar omit if using sweetened non dairy milk

    Instructions

    Prep your garlic herb spread:

    • Melt vegan butter in a bowl or warm the olive oil. Mince or crush the garlic and mix in. Mix in half of the chopped herbs.

    Make the flatbread:

    • In a bowl, whisk all the dry ingredients until well combined. Mix in the herbs.
    • In a small bowl mix the non dairy milk and lemon juice. Add to the dry. Add aquafaba, oil and sugar to the dry. Mix well and knead for a minute. The dough will seem dry then start to get sticky as you keep kneading. Add a tsp or more flour if too sticky or a tsp non dairy milk if too dry. You want the dough to be somewhat sticky. Cover the bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes.
    • Spray oil on the dough and knead for a few seconds to smooth out.
    • Divide dough into 3 parts. Roll each into a smooth ball. Flatten one, dust in flour and roll out into an oval or circle shape.
    • Heat a skillet over medium high heat. When the skillet is evenly hot. Place the rolled out flatbread on it. Place a lid on the flatbread and cook for 2 minutes.
    • Flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Place directly on the flame or grill to blacken, or continue to cook on the skillet until golden brown spots.
    • Place on a serving plate and immediately brush with garlic herbed butter. Sprinkle some herbs.
    • Repeat for all flatbreads. Store covered lightly in a kitchen towel over the counter for the day, or refrigerate for upto 4 days.

    Alternatively: make these flatbreads like garlic Naans.

    • At step3 , after rolling out the flatbread. Spray water on the flatbread. Sprinkle minced garlic and herbs on the flatbread and press in. You can also sprinkle some nigella seeds and press in.
    • Place the flatbread with garlic side up on a hot skillet. Cover and cook as above. Once the flatbread is cooked, brush it with melted vegan butter or oil. Sprinkle more herbs/cilantro and store.

        Sure cathy: first bloom the yeast in a large mixing bowl, pour warm water and stir in 2 tsp sugar. Sprinkle yeast on the water and let sit for 10 minutes or until frothy. Then start from step one in the method as usual.

      Is there something I can substitute for the chick pea water? really excited to try this…will use spelt flour though I’m really only supposed to use rice flour. -hoping spelt flour will be ok. rice flour flatbread would be amazing….maybe a recipe with rice flour would be good for those with sensitivities….just a thought 🙂

      These were wonderful and so easy! Today was my first try ever at making skillet flatbreads—first your Rosemary Pumpkin Flatbread and then this Garlic Herb Flatbread, and they both came together perfectly, and the requests for more have already begun! I’ve learned to cook largely from your blog and cookbook. I so reliably enjoy your recipes that I usually double the batch even the first time I make it. Thank you as always!

The instructions are perfectly clear, I even made a gluten free variety and was so happy with how easy and beautifully the dough rolled out. 5 stars!! ✨ My iPad would only select 4 stars but it is 5 or easily 10!!

      Great recipe ! Much love from Ghana . Question outside this recipe ….. Are vegans mostly anemic or suffer iron deficiency disease ? I am on a 30 day vegan challenge and am enjoying it . I think I want to change my lifestyle to transition being a full vegan . But a friend tells me this today . Is it true ? Have you experienced such thing please ? Thanks

        November 10, 2015 at 12:30 pm

        Thanks Matilda. That is great that you are taking the challenge and want to continue on it.
        About Iron, no it is not true that vegans are anemic. Iron deficiency can happen to anyone not eating enough iron in their diet vegan or not. There are several sources of iron in the plant world like greens, beans, lentils, whole grains, nuts. https://www.vrg.org/nutrition/iron.php . Eat meals with enough helping of iron rich plant foods. Some people when they transition from a very meat heavy/ dairy heavy diet to eating only plant based ingredients, often do not know what to eat for a good filling meal and can end up eating either junk vegan food (processed options), or just salads, which is why they might develop deficiencies of iron or other vitamins. The key is to eat a balanced meal which has many ingredients of each category like greens(spinach, chard, kale etc), beans and lentils (chickpeas, black beans, kidney beans, other beans, lentils, peas, etc), some nuts and seeds (walnuts, almonds, cashews, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds etc), grains like oats, iron rich veggies as broccoli and bok choy etc.
        Hope this helps.

        you can use a gluten-free flour blend that has gum, like Bob’s red mill gluten-free 1 on 1 baking flour. Add less flour to begin with and add more if needed to make a soft somewhat sticky dough.

        I used King Arthur Gluten Free flour (Amazon) and didn’t have milk so I used all aquafaba and it was perfect. I only made half a recipe and left out the herbs since I wanted a bread to put peanut butter on to have with my coffee. Now I wish I’d doubled the recipe (tired of trying recipes that taste terrible). Next I’m goinng to add the herbs… love garlic bread!

        BTW, walmart also carries gluten free flour that has great reviews.
