Recipe Details
Ingredients
- 200g fine almond flour (blanched)
- 170g part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 60g cream cheese, cubed
- 2 large large eggs
- 5ml baking powder
- 2.5ml garlic powder
- 2.5ml fine sea salt
- 2.5ml dried Italian seasoning (optional)
- 15ml extra virgin olive oil for brushing
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 170g part-skim mozzarella cheese and 60g cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth (about 1-2 minutes total).
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together 200g fine almond flour (blanched), 5ml baking powder, 2.5ml garlic powder, 2.5ml fine sea salt, and 2.5ml dried Italian seasoning (optional) if using.
-
Add one 2 large large eggs to the melted cheese mixture and stir vigorously until well combined. Add the second egg and mix until smooth.
-
Add the dry ingredient mixture to the cheese and egg mixture. Mix with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms. If the dough seems too sticky, let it cool for 2-3 minutes.
-
Place the dough on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Using your hands or a rolling pin between two sheets of parchment, spread the dough into a rectangular shape about 6mm (1/4 inch) thick.
-
Brush the surface with 15ml extra virgin olive oil for brushing for a golden finish.
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch. The edges should be slightly crispy.
-
Let cool for 5 minutes before cutting into 6 pieces. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips
Cheese Temperature: Make sure the cheese mixture isn't too hot when adding eggs, or they may scramble. Let it cool slightly if needed.
Dough Consistency: The dough should be pliable but not sticky. If it's too wet, add a tablespoon more almond flour. If too dry, add a teaspoon of water.
Rolling Technique: Place dough between two sheets of parchment paper for easier rolling and to prevent sticking to your rolling pin.
Thickness Matters: Keep the flatbread about 6mm (1/4 inch) thick for the best texture - too thin and it becomes crispy like a cracker, too thick and it may not cook through.
Storage: Store leftover flatbread in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes per side to restore texture.
Versatile Uses: Use as a base for keto pizza, cut into strips for dipping, or use as a wrap for sandwiches and burrito bowls.
Flavor Variations: Add dried herbs like rosemary or oregano, or incorporate sun-dried tomatoes or olives into the dough for extra flavor.
Make-Ahead Tip: The dough can be prepared and shaped, then covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 2-3 extra minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
