Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius / 350 Fahrenheit (160C / 320F fan).
Mix the coconut flour, super fine almond flour, psyllium husk powder and baking powder in a bowl. Option to add salt.
Add the warm water and olive oil and stir until a dough forms. Knead the dough for around a minute using your hands.
Form a dough ball and cut into 4 wedges. Roll the wedges into balls and place on an upturned baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Put another sheet of parchment on top and roll out into flatbreads, around ½ cm thick. Shape the edges with your fingers. Remove the top parchment and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake for around 20 - 25 minutes or until golden and puffy. If large air bubbles form, pierce with a fork or skewer during baking.
Note: If necessary, rotate the baking sheet so the flatbreads brown equally and/or turn on the grill/broiler at the end to ensure they are lightly crisp and golden brown on top.
