Italian Herb Cassava Flatbread

Prep: 15 mins Cook: 20 mins Serves: 6

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups cassava flour (AIP-compliant flour substitute)
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (plus more for brushing)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tbsp oregano (dried)
  • 1 tbsp basil (dried, or 2 tbsp fresh chopped)
  • 1 tsp rosemary (dried, or 1 tbsp fresh chopped)
  • 1 tsp thyme (dried)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a large bowl, combine cassava flour, salt, and dried herbs.

  3. Add olive oil and 3/4 cup warm water. Mix until a dough forms.

  4. If needed, add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until dough comes together but isn’t sticky.

  5. Place dough on the lined baking sheet and press into a rectangular shape about 1/4 inch thick.

  6. Use a fork to poke holes across the surface of the dough.

  7. Brush the top with olive oil and sprinkle with minced garlic and a pinch of additional salt.

  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes until edges are golden and bread is cooked through.

  9. Allow to cool slightly before cutting into pieces.

  10. Optional: For a crispier flatbread, place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes after baking.

Notes

This Italian-inspired flatbread makes a perfect side for soups or can be used as a pizza base. Cassava flour gives it an authentic texture that's hard to achieve with other AIP-compliant flours. The herbs can be adjusted based on your preferences. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
