Ingredients for 2 servings:

  • 30 g psyllium husks, ground
  • 45 g coconut flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 pinch(s) salt

Instructions

Working time approx. 5 minutes; Rest time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 45 minutes

Low-carb, low-calorie, low-fat, suitable for diets

This universal low-carb dough can basically be used for just about anything. Even completely unseasoned and flavorless, it’s perfect for further processing. Mix all ingredients until smooth. It will be a bit runny at first, but once the psyllium husks have swelled a bit, it’s quite easy to work with. Let the dough rest for about 10 minutes. Depending on the consistency of the coconut flour, it may be too thin or too thick; add a little more or less coconut flour or buttermilk accordingly. You should test this a few times, though, and only add a little more after it’s swelled. However, I found it perfect using coconut fiber flour and the specified amounts. After the swell period, spread the dough relatively thinly on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and place it in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 30 minutes with a fan. Baking time may vary from oven to oven; the dough should take on a light brown color. The dough swells up like a balloon, but as soon as the oven door is opened or it cools down, it slowly collapses again. Therefore, it doesn’t need to be pricked. After cooling, the dough is very flexible and still malleable and can be put back in the oven with pizza toppings, rolled up as a wrap, or topped as a pancake, either sweet or savory. I like it best in the sweet version with a little vanilla flavor in the dough and a quark spread with fresh fruit or fruit, but the savory version as a wrap with garlic and oregano in the dough, filled with tomatoes, arugula, mozzarella, chicken, and pesto is also very tasty. The whole dough has around 340 kcal and is more than enough for two big eaters. That means you get about 170 kcal per person without the topping.
