Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add in the Greek yogurt, olive oil, and psyllium husk powder. Mix together until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing well to form a dough. Add the water gradually if the dough seems too thick.
Let the dough sit for 5 minutes to allow the psyllium husk powder to absorb some moisture, thickening the dough.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each into a flat, round pita about 1/4 inch thick.
Place the pitas on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your high protein, low carb pita bread fresh or store in an airtight container for later use.
