Gluten - Free, Yeast - Free Vegan Pita - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour
    1/2 cup millet flour
    1/2 cup brown rice flour
    1/4 cup ground flax seed
    1 teaspoon guar gum
    1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
    1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
    1 pinch cumin (optional)
    1 teaspoon kosher salt
    1/4 cup warm water
    1 tablespoon Ener-G Egg Substitute
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
    3/4 - 1 cup warm water
Preparation
    Preheat the oven to 400F and place a pizza stone or an upside down baking sheet inside.
    In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
    In a separate bowl whisk together 1/4 cup warm water and egg replacer, then add to the flours with the oils and another 1/4 cup warm water.
    Mix to combine, then slowly add 1/2 cup warm water, mixing to make a wet dough.
    Keep mixing until parts of the dough begin to pull away from the sides of the bowl(it won't clump).
    Scrape onto a dampened counter and divide into parts.
    With wet hands, place one piece of dough on a sheet of parchment paper and, with wet fingertips smooth the dough into a 1/2\" thick round.
    Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough, placed about 1/2 inch apart on the parchment paper.
    Place the parchment paper on the hot pizza stone.
    Bake for 5 minutes, then carefully flip and bake for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until lightly brown on both sides.
    Allow to cool for 3 to 5 minutes, or until they can be handled. Slice each round in half through the center. With a very sharp knife, gently coax open the center of each pita half.
    Once cooled, the pitas will keep for 2 days in a plastic ziploc bag on the counter.
