Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 3/4 cup Tapioca flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 large Egg
- 1/3 cup Warm water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and sea salt until well combined.
In a separate small bowl, lightly beat the egg, then mix in the warm water and olive oil.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle in a tiny bit more tapioca flour until it becomes workable.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten into a 1/4-inch thick disc (about 5-6 inches in diameter).
Place the discs on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. For extra puffiness, flip the pitas halfway through baking.
Remove the pitas from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy with your favorite dips, fillings, or spreads!
