Ingredients

• 2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (plus more for topping)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the mozzarella and cream cheese together in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth.
2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, almond flour, baking powder, grated parmesan, and salt. Fold in the melted cheese mixture until a dough forms.
3. Step 3: Refrigerate the dough for at least 4 hours to firm up, which makes it easier to handle.
4. Step 4: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Divide the chilled dough into 8 equal balls. Place each ball between two sheets of parchment paper and flatten into round flatbreads.
5. Step 5: Bake the flatbreads for 15 to 17 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
6. Step 6: While the flatbreads bake, heat the butter and olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until lightly browned and fragrant.
7. Step 7: Brush the warm flatbreads with the garlic butter, sprinkle with extra parmesan cheese, and return them to the oven for 1 to 2 minutes to crisp up.
8. Step 8: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

• Use fresh garlic for the best flavor, but garlic powder can be substituted in a pinch.
• If you prefer a thinner flatbread, roll the dough balls thinner before baking.
• Add a pinch of chili flakes to the garlic butter for a spicy kick.
• Experiment with different herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra aroma.

Storage

Store any leftover flatbreads in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a toaster oven or skillet to restore crispness. Avoid microwaving as it can make the bread chewy.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I make this flatbread dairy-free?

This recipe relies heavily on cheese for texture and flavor, so dairy-free substitutions may change the outcome substantially. Using dairy-free cheese alternatives might work but expect differences in texture.

Can I freeze the flatbreads?

Yes, you can freeze the baked flatbreads. Let them cool completely, then wrap individually and freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat directly from frozen in an oven or toaster oven for best results.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Cheese Mixture

• 2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (plus more for topping)

Dough

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 large eggs
• Pinch of salt

Garlic Butter

• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Instructions

1. Melt the Cheeses: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese together by heating in 30-second intervals. Stir well after each interval until you achieve a smooth, combined cheese mixture.
2. Mix the Dough: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond flour, baking powder, grated parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt. Then fold in the melted cheese mixture until a cohesive dough forms.
3. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours. This chilling step firms up the dough, making it easier to handle and shape later on.
4. Shape and Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Divide the chilled dough into 8 equal balls. Place each ball between two pieces of parchment paper and gently flatten into round flatbreads. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 15-17 minutes until they turn golden brown.
5. Make the Garlic Butter: While the flatbreads are baking, sauté the minced garlic in butter and olive oil over medium heat until the garlic is lightly browned and fragrant.
6. Finish: Remove the baked flatbreads from the oven and brush them generously with the garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle additional parmesan cheese on top, then return the flatbreads to the oven for 1-2 minutes to allow them to crisp up further. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

• Chilling the dough is crucial for easier shaping and better texture.
• You can use shredded mozzarella leftover from other recipes; just make sure it is low-moisture.
• For extra crispiness, bake the flatbreads on a preheated pizza stone or baking steel if available.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven or skillet for best results.
• Feel free to add herbs like rosemary or oregano to the dough for added flavor.
