Paleo Sweet Potato Flatbread
Vegan
Nut-Free
Gluten-Free
This flatbread has become our go to pizza base over the last 2 years. With only 6 ingredients, they are very easy to make and don’t take up a lot of time either! PLUS, your pizza can’t be THAT unhealthy if the crust is made of sweet potatoes, right?
We use this recipe almost exclusively for our homemade pizzas now. Anytime Kai is craving pizza, he specially requests this!
Our favorite pizza to make with this flatbread is definitely BBQ chicken pizza – which I will be posting the recipe for soon. HOWEVER, we’ve tried many variations and they always turn out deliciously! We’ve also used them for making wraps, and they turn out excellent! The light sweetness from the sweet potatoes really pairs well with a bit of spice from whatever toppings you are using.
While I used pretty basic spices for this recipe – sea salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder – you could definitely come up with your own variations! This is the most basic dough that will go with any pizza or wrap you’re making! I’ve also added fresh basil, oregano or even a small amount of pesto if I’m feeling particularly fancy that day, and it always comes out perfectly!
what do i need to make this paleo sweet potato flatbread?
- 3 cups mashed sweet potato – I typically peel, cube and boil my sweet potatoes. You could bake and scrape out the insides of the potato, but that takes longer and is a bit more work
- 2 cups of cassava flour – I used Bob’s Redmill’s cassava flour (you may get different results and need to alter the amount of cassava flour you use if you go with a different brand, but they will still turn out!
- Sea salt
- Black pepper
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
Servings:
4-5 flatbread
Prep Time:
10-15 minutes
Cook Time:
8-9 minutes
Total Time:
18-24 minutes
Ingredients:
- 3 cups of mashed sweet potatoes, cooled close to room temperature so that it can be handled by hand
- 2 cups of cassava flour *see note below
- 1 teaspoon of sea salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Instructions:
Step 1
In a large bowl, mix together your mashed sweet potato, sea salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix until combined
Step 2
Gradually add your flour to your sweet potato mixture. I usually add 1/4-1/2 cup of flour at a time until the flour is fully incorporated
Step 3
Sprinkle cassava flour onto you countertop and separate your ball of dough into 4-5 balls. If you find that your dough is still too sticky to work with, continue to kneed flour into the dough on your countertop
Step 4
Take one of your dough balls and begin to roll out onto your floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin. Roll out dough until it is approximately 1 cm in thickness
Step 5
Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat. DO NOT SPRAY WITH COOKING OIL OR GREASE WITH OIL. We want the pan to be dry when we cook our flatbread. Once pan is heated, carefully lift your rolled out flatbread from the counter top, to the preheated pan. I usually do this with a large spatula
Step 6
Cook flatbread for approximately 5 minutes on the first side and 3-4 minutes on the second side once flipped with a spatula. When you flip your flatbread, you should notice some black markings on both sides, without it being completely black. After cooking, place flatbread on cooling rack to cool to room temperature. Continue cooking process with the remaining dough
Notes:
- As I mentioned above, you may get different results if you use a different brand of cassava flour, but your flatbread will still turn out, you may just need to alter the amount of flour that you use! I’d add the flour slowly until you get the desired consistency
- I have made these with all purpose flour before, but usually it turns out to be more of a 1:1 sweet potato to flour ratio. Start adding your flour a little at a time until you get your desired consistency
- I’ve made these ahead of time to use later in the week if I know I will be busy. I typically wrap them in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator until I am ready to use. They should be fine stored in the refrigerator for up to a week
- Flatbread can also be frozen, I typically store them in a freezer ziplock bag (for up to 3 months). When ready to thaw, I usually take them out of the ziplock bags to fully thaw on a cooling rack, before storing in the refrigerator
