Psyllium husk is a new ingredient to me, I got to know about this amazing ingredient when I was doing a recipe with coconut flour. When you are making recipes with coconut flour you need a binding agent as it’s gluten-free and has its own unique consistency and the most commonly used binding agent that works is psyllium husks. When psyllium husk is mixed with water it absorbs all the moisture and becomes like a thick gel so this can be used as a binding agent when making baked food with nut flour to gluten-free flour.

This keto flatbread has a very unique flavor and consistency compared to other regular flatbreads. It’s so soft and bendy similar to Naan and you can serve it with any toppings you like, but I would recommend a nice thick curry-like cauliflower masala or spicy dhal curry.

Prep time – 20 minutes     Cooking time – 15 minutes   Serves – 04 flatbreads

Tips

  • Make sure you stiff the flour using a strainer to avoid any lumps and to get a firm dough.
  • It is really important to rest the dough once mixed s it takes little time for the phylum husk to activate.
  • When oiling the pan before cooking flatbread make sure that there are no oil drops left on the pan, otherwise the flatbread will have a tendency to get fried.
  • Do not cook the flatbread in high heat as it will burn the outer layer and will not cook the flatbread throughout.

Method

  • Add coconut flour, psyllium husks, baking powder, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and butter to a medium-sized bowl and mix well combining everything evenly.

  • Then add hot water little by little and mix using a spatula until a firm wet sand-like consistency (ref image). You might be a little confused about how the dough looks right now but don’t be, psyllium husks need little time to activate so start kneading the dough for 03 – 05 minutes until it has the elasticky consistency and doesn’t fall apart. You can also apply some butter or oil to your hand if the dough is a little sticky.
