Ingredients

  • 2 cups Almond flour
  • 0.5 cup Coconut flour
  • 1 tablespoon Baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
  • 4 large Eggs
  • 0.25 cup Olive oil
  • 0.5 cup Warm water
  • 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon Nigella seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, salt, ground cumin, and ground coriander. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, and warm water until fully combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions, rolling each into a ball. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten them into discs about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 6

Sprinkle sesame seeds and nigella seeds (if using) over the top of each disc, gently pressing them into the dough.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before serving.

Step 9

Enjoy with your favorite Moroccan dishes or as a side with dips and spreads.
