Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
- 1 tablespoon Flaxseed meal
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Warm water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk powder, flaxseed meal, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough begins to form. The dough should be moist but not sticky.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
Place a dough ball between two sheets of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to form a circle about 1/4-inch thick. Repeat for the remaining dough balls.
Transfer the rolled-out pitas onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the pitas are firm to touch and lightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and allow the pitas to cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
