Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Step 2
Add the warm water and olive oil to the bowl. Stir the mixture well until a dough forms. The mixture will be slightly sticky but should hold together well. If too sticky, let it rest for a couple of minutes to allow the psyllium husk to absorb the moisture.
Step 3
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Step 4
On a clean surface, place the dough ball between two sheets of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll out each ball into a thin round, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Step 5
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the skillet is hot, peel off the top parchment sheet and carefully place the flatbread on the skillet.
Step 6
Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until it starts to bubble and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Remove from the skillet and set aside. Repeat this process with the remaining dough balls.
Step 8
Serve warm as a side or use it as a base for wraps. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator or freeze for future use.
