Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Coconut Flour
  • 2 Tbsp. Psyllium Husk Powder
  • 2 Tbsp. Vital Wheat Gluten
  • 1 tsp. Baking Powder
  • 1 Egg beaten
  • 1/2-3/4 cup Hot Water
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Aleppo Pepper optional
  • Avocado Oil for pan frying
  • Fresh Garlic and Melted Butter for serving

Instructions

  • 1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, vital wheat gluten, baking powder, salt and spices.
    2. Make a hole or a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add in the beaten egg. Fold it into the mixture with a rubber spatula, gently knead if desired.
  • 3. Start with 1/2 hot water and fold it in. The dough should moisten and begin to form a ball. Add the remaining water 1 tbsp at a time if needed to help the dough ball form, but not become overly sticky.
  • 4. Knead the dough just until it comes together then cover the dough with a towel and let rest about 10 minutes. This helps the psyllium husk and coconut flour to fully absorb the water.
  • 5. Divide the dough into 4 large pieces and roll into balls. Place one ball between two sheets of parchment paper and roll out to about 1/4 inch thick.
  • 6. In a frying pan over medium heat, add about a teaspoon of avocado oil to the pan and swirl it around. Cook each side of the flatbread for about 1.5-2 minutes and flip. It should brown slightly.
  • 7. Remove cooked flatbreads and place on a plate with a towel over them to keep them warm if desired. If freezing, place a small piece of parchment between each one and then in a freezer safe bag before storing.See the blog post above for notes on making pita chips and below for baking directions for flatbread pizzas.

Notes

Want to make a crispy flatbread pizza style? After pan cooking your flatbread, preheat the oven to 400 F and place it on an elevated rack (so the hot air goes underneath) and bake for 10 minutes. Add toppings and bake an additional 5-8 more minutes so the bottom is crispy and the toppings are cooked and melted.
