Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Almond flour
- 50 grams Coconut flour
- 20 grams Psyllium husk powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 240 ml Warm water
- 60 ml Olive oil
- 50 grams (melted) Butter
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Add warm water to the dry ingredients and use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix until a dough begins to form.
Stir in the olive oil and continue to mix until the dough is smooth. If the dough feels too sticky, let it rest for a few minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb more moisture.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten slightly.
Dust a clean surface with a small amount of almond flour. Take one dough ball and roll it out into a thin circle about 8 inches in diameter.
Brush the rolled-out dough with melted butter, then fold the top edge to the center, repeat with the bottom, and fold in the sides, creating a square.
Gently roll the square to flatten it slightly, being careful not to tear the dough.
Repeat the rolling and folding process with the remaining dough balls.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a bit of butter to the pan.
Once the butter is melted, place one of the folded and flattened dough squares into the pan.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Repeat with the remaining squares, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
Serve the Keto Msemen warm, either plain or with your choice of low-carb topping or dip.
