Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Spelt flour
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.75 cup Warm water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place a baking sheet inside to heat up.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the spelt flour, almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until evenly mixed.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then add the olive oil and warm water gradually. Stir the mixture until a soft dough begins to form.
Knead the dough lightly with your hands for 1-2 minutes. If the dough is too sticky, add a small amount of spelt flour, one teaspoon at a time, until it comes together.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a round pita shape about 1/4-inch thick.
Place the flattened dough rounds on a piece of parchment paper for easy transfer to the hot baking sheet.
Carefully remove the preheated baking sheet from the oven and transfer the parchment paper with the pita rounds onto it. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the pitas are puffed and lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the pitas cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
