Keto Flatbread

Prep

Cook

Inactive

Total

Yield 4–6 Flatbreads

Ingredients:

2 tbsp. whole psyllium husk or ground flaxseed

1/2 cup coconut flour

1 cup lukewarm water

1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp herbamare (optional)

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil for cooking

Instructions:

Step 1: Add psyllium husk and coconut flour to medium bowl. If there are any lumps in coconut flour, press down with a fork to break them. Mix to combine.

Step 2: Add lukewarm water (100F/40C), olive oil, and baking soda to bowl. Stir to combine with spatula, then use hands to knead the dough.

Step 3: Add in salt (never add salt directly to baking soda as this will deactivate the leavening agent).

Step 4: Knead dough for one minute. It will become moist and slightly drier as you go. If it is too sticky, add a little bit more psyllium husk, 1/2 tsp at a time. Ultimately, it should come together easily as a dough and not stick to hands. (It should be moist, but not sticking to hands).

Step 5: Set dough aside for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the dough should be elastic, soft, and holds well together.

Step 6: Time to roll - cut the dough into 4 even pieces. Roll each piece into a small ball.

Step 7: Place one dough ball between pieces of two parchment paper and press down with hand. Then use a rolling pin to roll the dough as thin as you would like. (Mine was about 8 inches in diameter.) Peel off the top layer of parchment paper and use a cooking pot lid to cut into circle. Keep the excess dough to reform and roll one more ball (that is how you make an extra flatbread).

Step 8: Warm a pan over medium heat, and add 1 tsp olive oil. (Make sure it's not a thick layer of oil, otherwise the bread will fry!) Carefully remove flatbread from the parchment paper and add to pan. Cook for 2 minutes on one side. Then flip and cook 1 minute on other side. Repeat steps 7 and 8 until all the dough has been used.

Step 9: Allow flatbread to cool down and use as wrap to add favorite topping or in a curry dish as dipping bread. Enjoy!

flatbreadSpecial Notes:

This coconut flour flatbread is very versatile and is perfect to use as a tortilla in a Mexican dish or even as a roti in an Indian curry! Add your favorite toppings and roll as a wrap.

When forming the dough it’s very important that the dough is moist, but that it doesn’t stick to your hands. If it does stick, add 1/2 tsp psyllium husk or ground flaxseed (psyllium works better overall but some prefer flaxseed) at a time and knead for another 30 seconds to see if it becomes less sticky. Repeat until it doesn’t stick to hands, but is moist, soft and elastic.

When rolling your flatbread, you can roll them as thin as you like, keep in mind that they will “puff” when cooking which is totally normal, so rolling them thin won’t break them.

You can store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat in the pan or if you want them a little more crispy, pop in the oven for 1–2 minutes at 300F/150C.

  1. I failed at this! Was the water to be added gradually to get the right dough consistency? I used ground flaxseed but it remained sticky after even a 1/4 cup. Oh well, the dough mash was tasty, my chickens loved it! I ate the delicious hummus I made to go on top with celery.

    1. Sorry to hear this! No it doesn’t need to be added gradually. You can just add a bit more psyllium husk to make it less sticky and more moist and you can add up to 1 cup of water 🙂

      From the instructions: “Knead dough for one minute. It will become moist and slightly drier as you go. If it is too sticky, add a little bit more psyllium husk, 1/2 tsp at a time. Ultimately, it should come together easily as a dough and not stick to hands. (It should be moist, but not sticking to hands).

  2. Hi. I have tried many recipes for keto tortillas and so far this is my favorite! The dough was wonderful to work with and worked quite well in the tortilla press. I used 1 tbs of flax and 1 tbs psyillium but I think I will try all psyllium the next time as the tortillas were a little fragile. I also added a pinch of garlic, onion, and cumin powders and a pinch of thyme. My husband liked them (he doesn’t like coconut flour). These were delicious! I’m planning to try them like roti for some butter chicken, as well as our next Mexican meal. Great recipe! Thank you.

    1. Same happened to me this morning! All good until I tried transferring to hot pan, it all fell to bits the moment I turned it upside down.
      I’ve ended up pressing the mixture into trays so as not to waste it. In the oven preset 200c, turned into a crunchy square which I’ll use as crouton in soup! Back to the recipe search for one which works!

  3. This looks like a great recipe-finally a no almond flour wrap recipe-thanks!
    Question for you: Do you think it could be altered a bit to turn it into bread?

  4. Is ground flax really interchangeable with whole psyllium husk in this recipe? I’m wondering if the varying reviews (flop vs success) could be based on those who used flax vs those who used psyllium. I used flax and mine failed. Twice. After the first flop I re-read all the instructions and watched the video. My only variation was questionable water temperature so I tried again, this time getting out a thermometer and not settling for anything less than 100*. Still there was NO WAY I could roll out a dough, even after adding 11 teaspoons of ground flax a little at a time. First batch was converted into crepes, the second batch crumbly crackers.
    Has anyone successfully made this recipe with ground flax seed?

    1. I opted for Flaxseed this morning. It totally didn’t work, not even when I added an egg! Back to the drawing board!
      In the end I oven baked it to a cracker crunch! Tastes revolting sadly.

  5. Dr. Thank you for healthy , good recipes. I’m using a lot of your recipes. And I really like them. All the best to you and your family. God Bless you. Hugs from Canada

  6. These are great! I am wearing a continuous glucose monitor and ate these on an empty stomach and they had no effect on my sugar! I’m also trying to increase fiber so these are perfect. They will be my new go-to tortilla’s. Thank you!!

  7. The recipe calls for whole psyllium husk but the link to purchase it in the list of ingredients takes you to psyllium husk powder. So, which one are we supposed to use? Most of the time in recipes I have used the powder so am confused about the use in this recipe.

  8. I need to restore my gut and recover from chemo treatment and colorectal reconstruction. Actually started reading your material on Autography two years ago before cancer returned and I had surgery. But what is done is done. Now my gut is all messed up, have bowl incontenence, and affecting all other systems. Cortisol and blood sugar thru the roof. Do you have anything in bundle or supplements on that and gut health? Psylliym Husk for fiber helps but not enough.

  9. Followed the recipe to a “T” but it was an absolute disaster. Crumbled and fell apart into bits. Used flax seed.
