Stir in the yeast and honey in warm water and let it proof for 15 minutes until bubbly
Add in the oil, salt, xanthan gum, and cassava flour and mix well using a mixer or with a spatula until the dough sticks together into a ball and leaves the sides of the bowl.
if it is too loose and sticks to the bowl, slowly add more cassava.
If it is too hard that you can't shape it, gradually add more water and mix well
cover with a towel for 10 min.
heat a pan on high heat and start by dividing the dough into small balls
place one ball of dough between 2 parchment papers and use your roller to flatten it up or use a tortilla press
Now place the flattened dough on the preheated pan
leave it for 1 min then flip on the other side let it cook until it hollows from the middle and puffs up
Remove and repeat

I just made thes and they didn’t puff up 😟 what did I do wrong?
make sure you add the xanthan gum it really helps, then the trick is getting the right thickness and the right heat. keep playing with those and it will work!
The taste is amazing but I struggled to get them to puff up correctly, is the issue the thickness or should it rest for longer? Please advise
it can be all of the above, I found that it needs the right thickness, the right heat to fluff up perfectly. some trial and error sometimes are required. Also, xanthan gum really helps if you have skipped that.
Make sure you used xanathan gum, then its all about getting the right thickness and heat in the pan. keep playing around with it, you will get there.
thank you for the recipe, just learned about cassava flour and am having my first successful flat breads happen. so happy to try this out. I appreciate what you do best of luck
Yummy!
Any sub for xantham gum.. it makes bread really slimy!! I tried other organic leavening agent, same slimy results !
Love the idea but can't get it to taste right
I use psyllium husk instead of xanthan gum, and it works pretty well! works better if u put it in some water first
How much psyllium should I use on place of xanthan in this recipe?
1 tbsp of psyllium husk, but it does puff up much better with the xanthan gum as a disclaimer.
Hi Aayah, I am so glad I found you on youtube, also connected now on Instagram and following your recipes. I would also prefer to use psyllium husk in the place of xanthan gum, could you please let me know how much psyllium husk for this recipe?
Warm regards,
Christel Roux

Yeah, it does change the taste quite a bit and the texture
