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

How to Make the Best  Zucchini Flatbreads

Start by cutting the zucchini into chunks. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the zucchini for about 5 minutes, or until tender.

Transfer the zucchini immediately to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain well, then blend until completely smooth and creamy.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant baking powder, Greek yogurt, olive oil, and salt.

Add the zucchini purée and begin mixing with a spoon. Once the ingredients start coming together, knead with your hands until a soft, compact dough forms.

Continue working the dough for a few minutes until smooth and easy to handle.

Divide the dough into equal portions and shape each piece into a flat round.

Heat a lightly oiled non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the flatbreads in the skillet, cover with a lid, and cook until golden on the bottom.

Flip them halfway through cooking and continue until both sides are beautifully golden and the flatbreads are fully cooked through.

Serve warm on their own or fill them with your favorite ingredients.
