Ingredients
Scale
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
