Ingredients

  • ¼ cup coconut flour sifted, 35g
  • ½ cup almond flour 65g, Super Fine
  • 2 tablespoon psyllium husk powder 20g
  • 1 cup water 240ml, warm
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch salt optional
  • sesame seeds optional, to sprinkle

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius / 350 Fahrenheit (160C / 320F fan).
  2. Mix the coconut flour, super fine almond flour, psyllium husk powder and baking powder in a bowl. Option to add salt.
  3. Add the warm water and olive oil and stir until a dough forms. Knead the dough for around a minute using your hands.
  4. Form a dough ball and cut into 4 wedges. Roll the wedges into balls and place on an upturned baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  5. Put another sheet of parchment on top and roll out into flatbreads, around ½ cm thick. Shape the edges with your fingers. Remove the top parchment and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  6. Bake for around 20 - 25 minutes or until golden and puffy. If large air bubbles form, pierce with a fork or skewer during baking.
  7. Note: If necessary, rotate the baking sheet so the flatbreads brown equally and/or turn on the grill/broiler at the end to ensure they are lightly crisp and golden brown on top.

Notes

  • This recipe makes four pita breads with approximately 8g net carbs each, ideal for ketogenic diets.
  • Store pitas at room temperature for 2-3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months for longer storage.
  • To revive texture, reheat pitas in the oven for about 3 minutes until crisp again.
  • Serve with a variety of fillings such as turkey and salad, cheese and tomato, or roasted vegetables with pesto for variety.
