Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Hot water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the hot water, olive oil, and egg until fully combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until a dough forms. Make sure there are no dry spots or lumps.
Let the dough sit for 5 minutes to allow the psyllium husk to absorb moisture and thicken the dough.
Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. With slightly wet hands to prevent sticking, form each piece into a ball.
Flatten each ball into a round disc, about 1/4-inch thick, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the pitas have puffed up and are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
