Ingredients
- 200 grams Spelt flour
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 10 grams Psyllium husk powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 150 milliliters Warm water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a baking sheet or pizza stone in the oven to heat up.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the spelt flour, almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
Step 3
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the olive oil and warm water.
Step 4
Mix the wet and dry ingredients together using a wooden spoon, then knead gently with your hands until a dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky. If it’s too sticky, sprinkle in a little more spelt flour; if too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time until it comes together.
Step 5
Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then lightly flatten with a rolling pin into a circle about 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter and roughly ¼ inch (0.5 cm) thick.
Step 6
Carefully remove the hot baking sheet or pizza stone from the oven. Place the pitas onto the hot surface and quickly return it to the oven.
Step 7
Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the pitas puff up and become slightly golden. Flip them over and bake for another 2-3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Step 8
Remove the pitas from the oven and cover them with a clean kitchen towel to keep them soft as they cool slightly.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature. These pitas are perfect for filling with your favorite low-carb toppings or as a side for soups and dips!
