AIP flatbread made from sweet potato flour and avocado, grain-free and egg-free

Most grain-free flatbreads crack the moment you try to fold them around a filling, so you learn to eat the broken pieces off a plate instead of ever getting a real wrap. This one holds. Blend sweet potato flour, gelatin, olive oil, and mashed avocado into a smooth dough, spread it thin, bake it about 14 minutes, and it peels off the parchment pliable enough to actually close around a filling without splitting.

Gelatin does the binding job eggs usually handle, and it also happens to be where the glycine in this bread comes from, an amino acid tied to connective tissue repair and, in some research, to gut lining health. The avocado worked into the dough contributes oleic acid, a fat linked to keeping inflammatory signals more measured rather than running hot.

Homemade bread in under half an hour is real relief on the elimination phase, on the days when energy is short and most things take longer than they should. Fold it around whatever you have, sit down, and let a real wrap be the good, ordinary thing it is today.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup sweet potato flour
• 1 tablespoon gelatin powder
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 cup ripe avocado, mashed (from roughly half a small avocado)
• 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Method

1. Heat your oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until the mixture forms a smooth, thick dough. If working by hand, mix very thoroughly until the gelatin is fully incorporated and no lumps remain.
3. Turn the dough out onto the parchment and shape it into a flat oval, roughly 4 by 8 inches. An even thickness across the whole pita gives a better result.
4. Bake for approximately 14 minutes, until the pita releases cleanly from the parchment and the edges are just starting to firm and dry.
5. Lift it off the parchment. Serve immediately as a warm wrap, or let it cool to room temperature first.

This recipe yields 1 pita - enough for one generous wrap. Double or triple the quantities if you are preparing several. Filling ideas: thinly sliced cucumber, AIP-compliant olive tapenade, or leftover shredded chicken all work well inside this flatbread.
