Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
2 ounces cream cheese
1 cup almond flour
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 large eggs
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
Pinch of salt

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour, Parmesan, baking powder, and salt.
Add the eggs to the flour mixture and stir until combined.
Pour the melted cheese mixture into the flour mixture and stir until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each into a ball and flatten between two sheets of parchment paper to form flatbreads.
Place the flatbreads on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the flatbreads are baking, heat the olive oil and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Remove the flatbreads from the oven and brush with the garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan if desired.
Serve warm.

Servings and Timing

This recipe yields 8 servings. Preparation time is approximately 15 minutes, with a cooking time of 15 minutes, totaling around 30 minutes from start to finish.

Variations

Herb Infusion: I like to add chopped fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the dough for an aromatic twist.
Spicy Kick: Sometimes, I mix in a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter for a bit of heat.
Cheesy Delight: For extra cheesiness, I sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top before the final bake.

Storage and Reheating

I store leftover flatbreads in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To reheat, I place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes, or until warmed through. They can also be frozen for up to a month; I thaw them overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

FAQs

How do I prevent the dough from sticking when rolling it out?

I place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper before rolling. This method prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.

Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?

Coconut flour absorbs more moisture than almond flour, so it isn’t a direct substitute. If I need to use coconut flour, I adjust the quantity and add extra liquid to achieve the right dough consistency.

Is it necessary to refrigerate the dough before baking?

Refrigerating the dough isn’t required, but I find that chilling it for about 30 minutes makes it easier to handle and shape.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, I often prepare the dough in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When ready to bake, I let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before shaping and baking.

What can I serve with this flatbread?

I enjoy serving this flatbread with keto-friendly dips, alongside soups or salads, or using it as a base for mini pizzas.

Conclusion

This Keto Garlic Flatbread has become a staple in my kitchen. It’s easy to make, full of flavor, and fits perfectly into my low-carb lifestyle. Whether I’m serving it as a side dish or enjoying it on its own, it’s always a hit.
