Keep reading, I think this post may interest you, I propose a thin "low carb" dough with only 4 ingredients.

 

 

The 4-ingredient thin dough is ideal for preparing any base, but also for making crackers or a quick crunchy snack.

Ingredients:

The main ingredient in this recipe is almond, so if you cannot consume it because you suffer from a nut allergy, you should look for an alternative.

You can try other flours, for example rice flour or oatmeal, but the recipe would no longer be low in carbohydrates and that is not the idea, and I cannot guarantee the result.

The other important ingredient is Chia, which can be substituted for flax, but flax adds flavor and chia does not.

You have the version with linen here.

Of the 4 ingredients that you will need, one is the sea ​​salt, which can be omitted, or changed to a sweetener (erythritol), depending on the result you want to obtain, sweet or salty.

If you prepare the salty version add spices, pepper, paprika, the combination that you like the most, you can make different versions and you will never get tired.

As for the level of difficulty, low, if not negligible, and the preparation time is 10 minutes plus about 15 minutes of cooking.

I usually prepare this dough in both versions, the sweet one, I prepare it with apple, and with the salty one I usually improvise, pizza style, flatbread, or as crackers crispy.

Let's talk about that, about its nutritional profile, what does this 4-ingredient dough give us in contrast to industrial doughs?

La almond It stands out for its lipid profile, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, proteins and antioxidants (vitamin E and folate).

As for minerals, its contribution of potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and calcium stands out.

 

The almond provides calcium and is a good source of energy.

 

Chia, for its part, is also a very interesting food, it provides Omega 3 and proteins as well as antioxidants and minerals.

But there is something that makes it the protagonist in this recipe, soluble fiber.

Chia, for its part, is also interesting from a nutritional point of view, it provides Omega 3 fatty acids and proteins.

 

The mucilages of the soaked chia help to compact the dough, without the need to add eggs.

 

The role of Chia in this recipe it is given by its contribution of soluble fiber, the mucilages that in contact with water create gels, those gels are what give it the power to amalgamate the dough without the need to use eggs.

They provide phenolic compounds that are antioxidants, they also provide us with tocopherols (vitamin E), and phytosterols (which help maintain correct blood cholesterol levels).

The natural nutraceuticals present in nuts have a pleiotropic effect on health, that is, they can have multiple beneficial effects on the same organism.

What are nutraceuticals? What does it mean that nutraceuticals have a pleiotropic effect?

The term "nutraceutical" is a hybrid and comes from 2 concepts, "nutrition" and "pharmaceutical", and refers to a food or food product that provides health benefits, including prevention and treatment of diseases.

It is characterized by NOT being a drug that is produced expressly for the treatment of a disease, being administered orally.
