Ingredients
Scale
Cheese and Dough
- 2 cups shredded low moisture mozzarella
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Flavoring
- 1 tablespoon grated parmesan
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Melt Cheeses: Melt the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese together in a microwave-safe bowl until fully melted and smooth.
- Mix Dough: In another bowl, combine the melted cheeses with the eggs, almond flour, and baking powder, mixing thoroughly until a smooth dough forms.
- Chill Dough: Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least 4 hours to firm up, making it easier to handle and shape.
- Shape Flatbreads: Divide the chilled dough into 8 equal balls. Using parchment paper, flatten each ball into a round flatbread shape.
- Bake Flatbreads: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the flatbreads on a baking sheet for 15-17 minutes until they turn golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: While the flatbreads bake, melt the butter and olive oil together over medium heat in a small pan. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, but not burnt.
- Finish Flatbreads: Remove the flatbreads from the oven and brush each evenly with the garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle the tops with grated parmesan and return to the oven for an additional 1 minute to set the flavors.
Notes
- Ensure the cheeses are completely melted before mixing with other ingredients to prevent lumps in the dough.
- Chilling the dough is crucial for texture and easier shaping; do not skip this step.
- You can store leftover flatbreads in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat before serving.
- For extra flavor, add herbs like rosemary or parsley into the garlic butter.
- Use parchment paper to avoid sticking and for easier cleanup.
