Ingredients
Scale
Flatbread Dough
- 2 cups shredded low moisture mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Garlic Butter Topping
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Parmesan cheese for sprinkling
Instructions
- Melt the Cheeses: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese together until fully combined and smooth. Stir thoroughly to create a uniform mixture.
- Make the Dough: Add the eggs, almond flour, and baking powder to the melted cheese mixture. Mix well until a cohesive dough forms that can be handled easily.
- Chill the Dough: Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. This chilling step helps the dough firm up for easier shaping.
- Shape the Flatbreads: Divide the chilled dough into 8 equal portions. Place each ball between two sheets of parchment paper and flatten to your desired flatbread thickness.
- Bake the Flatbreads: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the flattened dough rounds on a baking sheet and bake for 15-17 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and firm.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: While the flatbreads bake, heat butter and olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Finish the Flatbreads: Brush the hot flatbreads generously with the garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top, then return them to the oven briefly—about 2-3 minutes—to melt the cheese before serving.
Notes
- Chilling the dough is essential for easier handling and better texture.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking when flattening the dough.
- The flatbreads can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or toaster oven.
- To keep it strictly keto, ensure the parmesan cheese used is fresh and unsweetened.
- Adding herbs like rosemary or oregano to the dough can enhance flavor.
