Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Spelt flour
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 10 grams Psyllium husk powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 150 milliliters Warm water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a baking sheet or pizza stone in the oven to heat up.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the spelt flour, almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the olive oil and warm water.
Mix the wet and dry ingredients together using a wooden spoon, then knead gently with your hands until a dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky. If it’s too sticky, sprinkle in a little more spelt flour; if too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time until it comes together.
Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then lightly flatten with a rolling pin into a circle about 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter and roughly ¼ inch (0.5 cm) thick.
Carefully remove the hot baking sheet or pizza stone from the oven. Place the pitas onto the hot surface and quickly return it to the oven.
Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the pitas puff up and become slightly golden. Flip them over and bake for another 2-3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Remove the pitas from the oven and cover them with a clean kitchen towel to keep them soft as they cool slightly.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These pitas are perfect for filling with your favorite low-carb toppings or as a side for soups and dips!
