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

Ingredients:

The main ingredient in this recipe is almonds, so if you can’t eat them because you have a nut allergy, you’ll have to find an alternative.

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

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

The version with flax is available here.

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

If you prepare the salty version, add spices, pepper, paprika, whatever combination you like best. You can make different versions and you will never get tired of it.

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

The almond stands out for its lipid profile, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, proteins and antioxidants (vitamin E and folates).

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 egg.

 

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