FAQs

Can I use regular flour instead of almond or coconut flour?

Regular flour will change the nutritional profile and texture, but you can use it if you’re not following a low-carb diet. Adjust the amount as needed for consistency.

How do I make the flatbreads crispier?

Ensure your oven is fully preheated and drizzle olive oil on top before baking. Baking until the edges are golden brown also helps achieve a crispy texture.
