Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 4 flatbreads
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup cooked and mashed potatoes (or filling of choice)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, and salt, whisking thoroughly to eliminate any lumps and ensure even distribution of ingredients.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and crack the eggs into it. Pour in the water gradually while mixing with a fork or spatula to form a cohesive dough.
- Knead the dough gently for 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth and pliable. If the dough feels too sticky, add a small amount of almond flour; if too dry, add a little water.
- Cover the dough and let it rest at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow the flours to absorb moisture and become more manageable.
- Prepare your mashed potato filling by ensuring it's smooth and free of large chunks. Season with salt, pepper, or optional herbs like chopped cilantro if desired.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. On a parchment paper or silicone mat dusted with almond flour, roll out each portion into a thin circular shape, approximately 6-7 inches in diameter.
- Place a generous spoonful of mashed potato filling in the center of each dough circle, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling, creating a sealed pocket. Gently press the edges to ensure a tight seal and prevent filling from leaking during cooking.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with coconut oil or avocado oil.
- Cook each stuffed flatbread for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Press gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
- Remove from heat and let the parathas rest for 1-2 minutes before serving. This helps them firm up and makes them easier to handle.
- Serve warm with optional paleo-friendly accompaniments like coconut yogurt, fresh herbs, or a light salsa.
Tips
- Perfect Dough Consistency: When mixing the dough, aim for a smooth and pliable texture. If it’s too sticky, sprinkle in a bit more almond flour; if it feels dry, add a splash of water to achieve the right consistency.
- Resting Time Matters: Allowing the dough to rest for 10 minutes is crucial. This step helps the flours absorb moisture and makes the dough easier to roll out.
- Filling Variations: While mashed potatoes are a classic choice, feel free to get creative! Try using sautéed vegetables, seasoned meats, or even a mix of herbs and spices for a unique flavor profile.
- Rolling Technique: When rolling out the dough, keep it between 6-7 inches in diameter for even cooking. Using a dusting of almond flour on your surface will help prevent sticking.
- Cooking Tips: To achieve that perfect golden-brown crust, cook the flatbreads on medium heat and press gently with a spatula while cooking. This ensures even browning and a crispy texture.
- Serving Suggestions: These flatbreads are best enjoyed warm! Pair them with paleo-friendly accompaniments like coconut yogurt, fresh herbs, or a light salsa for an extra burst of flavor.
