Soft Garlic and Herb Keto Flatbreads

0 comments

A good flatbread is hard to find on a low-carb diet. Most swaps are either too crumbly to fold or too dense to enjoy. These are soft, bendy and lightly golden, with no yeast, no proving and no rolling pin gymnastics.

The secret is Finally. Ispaghula Psyllium Husks, which give the dough the stretch and structure that almond flour can't manage alone. They're cooked in a dry pan in minutes, then brushed with garlicky olive oil.


Why Psyllium Husk Works So Well

Psyllium husk swells into a gel when mixed with hot water. In low-carb baking, that gel adds structure, moisture and elasticity, which is exactly what a flatbread needs to fold without cracking.

Almond flour brings a tender, slightly nutty base, while garlic powder, herbs and a pinch of Ancient Spring Salt do the seasoning.

Ingredients

For the Flatbreads

To Finish


Method

1. Blitz the Psyllium

Blitz the psyllium husks in a spice grinder or small blender for 30 seconds until fine and powdery. Weigh out 20g after blitzing.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, psyllium powder, baking powder, Ancient Spring Salt, garlic powder and herbs.

3. Make the Dough

Add the olive oil and pour in the hot water. Stir quickly with a spoon, then knead with your hands for 1 minute until a soft dough forms. It will be slightly sticky at first, then firm up as the psyllium absorbs the water. Leave it to rest for 5 minutes.

If the dough feels too sticky, knead in 1 tbsp of almond flour. If it feels crumbly, add 1 tbsp of water.

4. Shape

Divide the dough into 6 equal balls of about 55g each. Place one ball between two sheets of baking parchment and roll it out to a round about 16cm across and 3mm thick. Repeat with the remaining balls.

5. Cook

Heat a large, dry non-stick or cast-iron frying pan over a medium heat. Cook each flatbread for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until it puffs slightly and has golden spots. Keep the cooked flatbreads wrapped in a clean tea towel to stay soft.

6. Finish and Serve

Brush the warm flatbreads with olive oil and sprinkle with a tiny pinch of Ancient Spring Salt. Serve warm.


Recipe Tips

  • Use hot water, not warm. It activates the psyllium and helps the dough come together.
  • Roll the dough thinly, or the flatbreads will be doughy in the middle.
  • Cook them in a dry pan, without oil, for the best texture. Brush with oil afterwards.
  • Keep cooked flatbreads under a tea towel so they stay soft and foldable.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze with parchment between each one. Reheat in a dry pan for 30 seconds per side.
  • Psyllium is high in fibre, so enjoy it with plenty of water.
  • Serve as wraps with grilled chicken and salad, as dippers with hummus-style dips, or top with cheese and pizza toppings for mini pizzas.
