Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
• 1 tablespoon Flaxseed meal
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Warm water
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk powder, flaxseed meal, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Step 3

Add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough begins to form. The dough should be moist but not sticky.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.

Step 5

Place a dough ball between two sheets of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to form a circle about 1/4-inch thick. Repeat for the remaining dough balls.

Step 6

Transfer the rolled-out pitas onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the pitas are firm to touch and lightly golden on top.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the pitas to cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
