Instructions
Instructions are for 6 servings. Please modify as needed.
Whisk the dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl.
Add olive oil and cheese.
Add the hot water last, stirring as it is added. Continue stirring until the psyllium fiber and coconut flour have absorbed all of the water.
Flatten the dough onto parchment paper on a baking sheet. Roll or press out the dough until it is thin and even. Be sure that it is a uniform thickness and less than 1/8 -inch (3mm) thick.
Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 20 to 25 minutes. Baking time will depend on the thickness of the dough.
When browned, transfer to a cooling rack, peel away the parchment paper and allow the flatbread to cool. Use a pizza cutter to cut the flatbread into squares for sandwiches. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
Tip
The seasonings can be changed to suit your taste. The cheese can also be omitted to make this recipe dairy-free.

Delicious!! Thank you for this recipe! My mind is racing with all kinds of ideas on how to use this. I like it much better than oopsie bread, as this has a much earthier and satisfying texture. This and the seed crackers are all I need for bread substitutes!!!

Could it make a pizza base? A garlic bread with melted garlic butter on the top and put back into the oven for a minute? Must try this bread, thank you.

Is there any way to use almond flour instead of coconut flour? I can’t stand anything coconut. Please don’t tell me I won’t notice the taste: if there is 1 single molecule of coconut anything I can’t eat it. Thanks for any suggestions. ?

The recipe has no number where it mentions the thickness. How thick should it be?

I am not a 'baker' and avoid it where possible. It is actually a bit of a family joke how bad I am at baking. But after watching the video and seeing how few steps I tried and this came out PERFECT. I rolled (squished it) quite thin (just 3-4mm 1/8in for those people infuriatingly incapable of googling a conversion.... ;) ) and cut into cracker sized bits rather than just 8 large pieces. This is the perfect vessel for my 'treat' cultured grass fed butter. But like many of the others above my mind is racing with other ways this could be used.
AND it has no almond flour so I can afford to make it!
Thanks for a brilliant recipe - and I really appreciated having the video with the ever lovely Kristie demonstrating.

At the top of the list of ingredients is a toggle that lets you swop beyween imperial and metric measurements, so the measurements are in grams and mls.

Tastes great....and totally keto but not low carb. Carb Manager has it as 5gr per serving for 10 servings! That’s pretty high to me. I’ll be cutting them in half...20 “servings” is like a cracker!

I just made this recipe. I am not sure I like it but I will try again and cook it longer. I like a crispier texture. I cooked it for 25 minutes and then left it in the oven to dry out a bit more. Next time I will change the seasonings or leave them out completely. Thanks.??

Has anyone tried this with less Mediterranean flavours (eg Indian spices for a chapati-like flavour)?

I used almond flour. They are really good! The dough didn’t look promising, reminded me of wallpaper paste! But the finished product was delicious.

I used 2 tsp of psyllium husk instead of 1 Tbsp (=3 tsp) and I prefer the texture; it lost a bit of elasticity but not slimmy anymore. I like it better.
Thank you27

Can I use a dehydrator for these. And if yes would they keep a nicer shape? (Was planning on using a cookie cutter).

You should never bake on waxed paper as the wax melts and sticks to food. Use parchment paper instead.

I also hate the taste and it being very high in fiber ends up affecting my intestines as well. I used only half the amount called in the recipe, reduced a little bit the water and
added a little xanthan gum for texture, it works perfectly. I think you can leave out the xanthan gum and still will be ok.34

Love this recipe, makes great toast. I made it to go with the Italian meatballs with spinach and soft mozzarella, made toast the next day. I bought some coconut flour and didn't really like it much until now. Thank you Kristie and Jill, oh loved the video too!

I just made these and it came out very well. I didn't have time to "moosh" it into a perfect rectangle while on my lunch break, but I must say this is one of the best tasting Keto recipes that I have tried so far. Thank you Kristie, you are an inspiration and a joy to watch. I'm looking forward to trying your chicken pot pie with keto biscuit topping. If you can figure out how to make "Keto gravy" for Southern biscuits and gravy that would be awesome!

I wonder if the Diet Doctor team could include oven temperatures in Celsius in addition to Fahrenheit. A small thing, I know, but as they already give the option to use metric measurements in the ingredients list, then maybe they could go one small, inclusive, step further. The rest of the site is fantastic and I’m very happy that I became a member.

We do usually include the Celsius temperature. I have asked the recipe team to add that to this as well.

Thank you for that recipe, like others said: this one (and the seed crackers ) is everything you need when craving bread. I only wonder, how long can I store this, in plastic covered or in paper bag, and should I keep it in the fridge? Today I have frozen my leftovers, but I am concerned that it will come out soggy (I do not own a toaster). Advice appreciated. Thanks again and best wishes for 2021.

I've done this several times and am always amazed at how savory it turns out each time! Besides rosemary and peppercorns, as specified in the recipe, I've also played around with those in combination with and/or replaced by _combinations_ of the following additions, for example...
caraway seeds (mmmm...), 1/2 Tbsp
fennel seeds, 1/2 Tbsp
flaxseed, 1/2 Tbsp
black sesame seeds, 1/2 Tbspherbes-de-Provence, 1/2 Tbsp
za'atar, 1/2 Tbsp
ground marijuana (indica), 1 generous TbspNever disappoints when you need a savory keto fix! THANK YOU!!!

I was following the instructions carefully but for some reason the dough was very oily and felt more like putty rather than any dough. I tried to add more flour but it didn’t help much. While mixing it felt like oil was separating from the rest of the ingredients. Any suggestions what could be the problem? Thanks!

Hi, Val! Sorry to hear this. Was your water boiling hot? Not having it hot enough may be the issue.

Yes! Straight out of a kettle! I’ve never seen a dough behaviour like this. And it didn’t bake well although my husband still ate it all. :) I will try again. Could it be the coconut four? I didn’t have one so I just used coconut flakes processes in a coffee grinder. I don’t know if coconut flour from a store would have different texture/properties?

That could certainly be the issue! I would try to follow to recipe exactly next time. Hope it works out for you!

The flatbread would freeze well!
