What Are Zucchini Flatbreads?
Zucchini flatbreads are soft skillet breads made with zucchini purée mixed directly into the dough. Unlike traditional flatbreads that rely on yeast fermentation, these use instant baking powder for a quick and reliable rise.
The result is a tender bread with a mild flavor that pairs beautifully with both savory fillings and simple spreads.
Tips for Perfect Flatbreads
- Drain the zucchini well after cooking
- Blend until completely smooth
- Avoid adding too much extra flour
- Cook over medium heat for even browning
- Keep the skillet covered during cooking
