Gluten Free, Dairy Free Potato Flat Bread

My first attempt at flat bread was good, but not great. This one is a lot better. It's softer and very delicious. I really like this new recipe. It's a modified version of this recipe. Very modified. I pretty much just used that one as a place to start, like inspiration.

What you need
1 1/4 c gluten free flour mix (I used one from trader joes)
1 1/4 c potato flakes (the instant kind, if you want the bread o have a flavour use the flavoured ones!)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp xanthan gum
1 tbl baking powder
1 tbl lemon juice
1 egg
1 tbl extra virgin olive oil
1 c hot water

Mix all your dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add egg and carefully mix in other wet ingredients. You should have a medium firm dough, if it's too dry add a bit more water and if it is too wet add a bit more potato flakes.
Form dough into balls and roll flat or press with hands. I pinched mine from the center outward. Get them to about 1/8 inch thin, they will rise a little because of the baking powder and lemon juice, but not a lot. You could also make them thicker and cut them like pita bread when done.
Cook each side in a frying pan or on griddle for about 45-60 seconds or until golden brown.

Depending on how thick and how big you make them you should end up with about 8-10 of these.

I made a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich with one yesterday and it was super delicious.
