Keto Pitas (Greek Souvlaki Flat Bread) No1
Servings 6
• Ingredients:
65 g / Almond flour
60 g / Coconut flour
15 g / Psyllium husk
15 g / Flaxseed flour
10 gr / Egg white protein (Albumin)*
10 g / Baking powder
1/2 tsp / Salt
1 Tbsp / Erythritol - stevia blend 1:1
7 g / Dry active yeast
3 / Egg whites (from medium eggs)
80 - 120 ml / Hot water
Some bamboo fiber flour to roll the pitas
• Instructions:
1 Mix and sieve all the dry ingredients.
* Note
Albumin (helps with the texture and the rolling of the dough) can be replaced with some more almond or coconut flour (5-10g).
2 Add the egg whites and mix lightly.
3 At last, add the hot water gradually (may not be needed the whole amount) and knead.
The dough should be formed without sticking to your hands.
4 Divide the dough into 6 parts.
5 Roll the dough with a rolling pin using two percment papers, sprinkling with bamboo fiber flour.
6 Carve the dough with a medium sized lid to have a round pie.
7 Fry the pitas on low to medium heat in a lightly oiled pan.
8 Turn the pitas on both sides a few times and bake for about 5 minutes .
9 Prepare the filling ingredients for the pitas. (I filled with homemade pork gyros*, cream cheese tzatziki, some onions, tomato, homemade mayonnaise and paprika).
10 Wrap the pitas and enjoy!
* For the gyros filling I just cooked pork chops, and cut it into small pieces like gyros. Then I fried these meat pieces until crispy and added paprika and oregano.
