Donair wraps
Gluten free breads can be difficult to get soft & pliable enough to wrap, but this bread fresh is all that.
Can make a batch & freeze for reheating. See tips at the end of this recipe.
Ingredients: Makes 3-4 breads.
257 g or 1/2 pack Gusto Flatbread & Naan Mix
170 g warm water (100-115°F)
4 g or 1 1/4 tsp or half pack active or instant yeast
1/2 Tbsp sugar
2 tbsp soft butter of choice (optional but recommended)
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar (optional but keeps dough even softer)
Directions:
In a stand mixer bowl with a paddle attachment, pour in warm water, sugar and yeast. Allow to dissolve. & rest 3-5 minutes until frothy.
Add the butter, if using, & weighed out flour. Beat on medium (#4 on kitchenaid) for 2 mins.
This dough is sticky & requires no kneading. Simply drop or scoop onto cut squares of parchment. Pat into rounds or a rough oblong shape using lightly floured hands.
Rising: Place shaped breads on a sheet pan. Cover. Let rest 25-30 mins.
Tips: Preheat oven to (170°F) for ONE minute only. Now add the trays. Turn on oven light also, and even add a bowl of hot water on the oven floor to create a warm area to proof breads.
When breads are puffy, heat a pan on medium heat, with a lid on, for 2-3 minutes.
Carefully lay one bread on the hot pan, with parchment attached, parchment side down. Cover with a lid.
Cook for 2 minutes. Using a spatula, flip the bread over onto the hot pan, removing the paper underneath.
Cover again & cook for 2-3 minutes until bread is puffy & charred. Remove & lightly brush with melted butter or oil.
Repeat steps 7-9 until all breads are cooked. You can cover with some foil to keep the breads warm. Best to wrap while still warm with fillings of choice. Breads can easily be warmed on a hot pan, in the oven at 350F for 3-4 minutes.
See below for some filling ideas.
Storage:
Eat fresh on the day of making or freeze extra breads in a plastic sealed bag. Can be reheated in a hot pan or a 350F oven for 3-4 minutes.
*** The trick to getting these breads tasting like they were freshly baked is to get them almost too hot to handle. It changes the internal temperature of the bread to bring it back to “fresh out of the oven” texture.
Oven method:
Tofu skewers.
I surprised even myself (& I love tofu) but these tasted incredible. One of the best ways I have ever enjoyed tofu. Inspiration for this recipe came from @sarahsveganrecipes on Instagram. Feel free to play with any spices you like.
