Warm, fluffy pita bread made with 5 gut-friendly ingredients.

With gut-friendly ingredients like arrowroot and almond flour, it’s easy to make your favorite baked treats Paleo. This 5 ingredient pita bread is a perfect example, with all the texture and heartiness of traditional pita bread.

Almond meal adds fiber and texture to the pita, helping to thicken the batter, while arrowroot keeps the bread smooth. Together these flours work in harmony to create just the right structure for pita bread. Eggs not only add protein but keep the pita soft and foldable. Otherwise, the finished product would be more cracker-like and tough.

Start by melting extra virgin olive oil or ghee in a skillet over medium heat. While the skillet heats, mix the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Break up any clumps of almond flour. Stir in the eggs and almond milk until completely incorporated. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter. Use a ½ cup measuring scoop to pour batter onto the skillet. The edges of the pita will start to cook through first, making it very easy to flip with a spatula. If you want a softer pita that can be folded, cook it for 3 minutes on each side. For a crispier pita, cook for 5 minutes per side.

Pile on your favorite toppings (sliced beef, fresh veggies, etc) or slice into triangles to dip in Paleo hummus. They can even be used as mini pizza crusts!
