Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.75 cups warm water
- 1 large egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and sea salt. Stir together until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, warm water, and egg until the mixture is frothy and uniform.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously with a spatula or spoon until a dough forms.
Let the dough rest for 5 minutes to allow the psyllium husk to absorb the moisture and thicken the dough.
Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and shape each part into a ball. Flatten each ball into a disk about 1/4 inch thick.
Place the disks onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the pitas are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Serve your low-carb pitas warm or at room temperature, topped with your favorite Mediterranean filling or dip.
