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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and sea salt. Stir together until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, warm water, and egg until the mixture is frothy and uniform.
Step 4
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously with a spatula or spoon until a dough forms.
Step 5
Let the dough rest for 5 minutes to allow the psyllium husk to absorb the moisture and thicken the dough.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Step 9
Serve your low-carb pitas warm or at room temperature, topped with your favorite Mediterranean filling or dip.
