Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon Nigella seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, salt, ground cumin, and ground coriander. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, and warm water until fully combined.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions, rolling each into a ball. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten them into discs about 1/2 inch thick.
Sprinkle sesame seeds and nigella seeds (if using) over the top of each disc, gently pressing them into the dough.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before serving.
Enjoy with your favorite Moroccan dishes or as a side with dips and spreads.
