There are 2 recipes here! They’re both good so try them both :)

According to Macrobiotic Nutritionist and Health Coach Shilpa Arora, “Amaranth, buckwheat and ragi are the best flours to use in case you are a diabetic (especially type 1). Attafrom these flours is low in carbohydrate content that makes it effective to maintain blood sugar level. Other alternatives are Almond flour,coconut,chickpea,oat and spelt flour. Another alternative for you would be: Allow your protein bread to become a bit stale and then grind it into bread crumbs. Use it either as flour (in this case you’d have to grind it finely eg.in a blender) or use your hands to make it breadcrumbs and use it as toast (eg. sprinkle it over the tyropita) – we use stale bread very often in Greece!

You will need some kind of flour for the tyropita so you can experiment and decide which one’s best for you. Καλή επιτυχία!
