Recipe Overview
Servings: 6 small flatbreads
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10–12 minutes
Total Time: ~20 minutes
Diet: Keto | Low-Carb | Gluten-Free
Ingredients
2 cups Wholesome Yum blanched almond flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup plain yogurt (0 carb if available)
1/2 cup water (approximately, adjust as needed)
2 tablespoons olive oil
3–4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Butter or olive oil for brushing
Why These Ingredients Work
Almond Flour
Provides structure and keeps carbs low. Blanched almond flour gives the softest texture.
Baking Powder
Adds lightness so the flatbreads aren’t dense.
Yogurt
Adds moisture and tenderness. It also improves flexibility.
Olive Oil
Enhances richness and prevents dryness.
Garlic
The key flavor component — fragrant and bold.
Water
Adjusts dough consistency to create a soft, workable texture.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine:
- Almond flour
- Baking powder
- Salt
Stir until evenly distributed.
Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients
Add:
- Yogurt
- Olive oil
- Minced garlic
- Parsley (if using)
Mix well.
Gradually add water a little at a time until a soft dough forms. The dough should be pliable but not sticky.
Step 3: Divide & Shape
Divide dough into 6 equal portions.
Place each between two sheets of parchment paper and gently roll into flat rounds about 1/4-inch thick.
Almond flour dough is delicate — handle gently.
Step 4: Cook in Skillet
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Cook each flatbread for about 2–3 minutes per side until:
• Light golden brown
• Slightly puffed
• Cooked through
Avoid very high heat to prevent burning.
Step 5: Brush & Serve
Immediately brush warm flatbreads with melted butter or olive oil.
Sprinkle with extra parsley and a pinch of flaky salt if desired.
Serve warm.
