milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

Almond milk lowers calories without compromising texture.

Warm 1 cup almond milk in the microwave until it's warm but not boiling.

Add 1 tablespoon maple syrup to the warm almond milk to feed the yeast.

Let the yeast mixture sit for about 10 minutes until it bubbles.

Add 1 cup white whole wheat flour and 1/2 cup chickpea flour to the yeast mixture and stir until it forms a dough.

If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour until it can be kneaded.

Knead the dough until it doesn't stick to your palm anymore, then let it rise for 10 minutes to an hour, covered.

After the dough has risen, divide it into 6 equal balls.

Roll each dough ball out on a floured surface into an oval or circle using a rolling pin.

Press chopped garlic and cilantro into the rolled dough, if desired.

Brush one side of the rolled dough with a thin layer of water.

Place the wet side of the dough onto a heated pan over medium heat.

Cook until the bottom is golden brown, then flip to cook the other side.
