Einkorn Flatbread (Kulcha)

Ashley
This is the best einkorn flatbread recipe; it's simple, quick and tasty! Top with butter and garlic, or use as a substitute to sandwich bread! It only takes four ingredients and comes together in less than 15 minutes! This recipe is similar to naan, but actually called kulcha.

Servings 6 einkorn flatbreads

Ingredients
  

  • 240g Einkorn flour all-purpose
  • 1 Tbsp Baking powder non-aluminum
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • 225g Yogurt Greek, plain

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, combine the 240g Einkorn flour, 1 Tbsp Baking powder, and ¼ tsp Salt.
  • Add the 225g Yogurt and mix until it becomes too difficult with a fork.
  • Finish mixing the dough by hand, in the bowl, until it has formed a tight ball shape.
  • Then divide the dough into 6 equal balls.
  • Apply a small amount of olive oil into your hands and rub olive oil over the silicone mat.
  • Press the dough balls out flat, somewhere between 6-7 inches in diameter.
  • In your frying pan, drizzle oil and set to medium-low heat.
  • Fry the bread for about 1 minute on the first side. Flip the flatbread when the bottom has browned. Fry the other side for about 30 seconds, then remove from the pan.
  • Lastly, top with melted butter and garlic powder, or use for sandwich wraps!

Notes

    1. If you are weighing the dough it will be about 65-70g per dough ball.
    2. Adding a fat, like olive oil, lard, tallow, or butter to your hands helps tremendously when working with einkorn flour. Einkorn is very sticky and is slow to absorb fats, creating a perfect barrier for your hands and the dough!
    1. Using a silicon mat helps reduce the dough from sticking, however if you don't have one, be sure to grease the surface you are working on to reduce sticking.
  1. These einkorn flatbreads will last about a week in the fridge. Once they have completely cooled, place in a Ziplock bag or glass container with a lid.
