Easy Keto Flatbread
Creating an easy low-carb flatbread was a must for our family since we enjoyed this type of bread before going keto.
I knew that in order to get this recipe right, I would have to create a recipe that produced a soft, flexible, and bread-like texture.
Since this recipe does not use gluten or wheat, I had to rely on other ingredients that have worked well in the past.
That’s why the almond flour flatbread also uses a small amount of golden flaxseed meal, psyllium husk powder, and xantham gum. What is a bonus is that using those ingredients makes it higher in fiber.
That’s right, consider this your high-fiber keto flatbread recipe!

In a large bowl, you’ll combine the almond flour, flaxseed meal, psyllium powder, xanthan gum, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and baking powder.
Then add the hot water, olive oil, and egg. Mix the dough well with a silicone spatula.
Next, divide the dough into six equal portions and cover with a wet paper towel. Between two pieces of parchment paper, roll the dough with a rolling pin.
Then place the flatbreads on the prepared baking pans. Use a pastry brush to brush each flatbread with olive oil.

There is no reason unless your readers are kosher, that you can't replace xanthan gum with grass fed, organic gelatin. It's much healthier and as a nutrition coach I will never use the gums.

@Hilda Solares, or you can use plain grassfed protein powder instead of gelatin or xanthum gum.
