Cheesy Garlic Flatbread That Won't Wreck Your Diet
This flatbread recipe brings the comfort of warm garlic bread to my low carb kitchen. After countless attempts to perfect this recipe I finally nailed that irresistible cheesy garlic combo without the carb overload. It's become my go to side dish that makes everything from soups to salads feel like a proper meal.
What Makes This Recipe Special
Let me tell you why this flatbread has become a staple in my house. The garlicky aroma fills my kitchen every time I make it and my family comes running. It satisfies those bread cravings perfectly while keeping things low carb. I love how versatile it is whether you want a quick side dish or feel like making a keto friendly pizza.
Everything You Need
The magic of this recipe comes from simple ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. Grab 2 cups of shredded mozzarella, 2 ounces cream cheese, 1 cup almond flour, 1/4 cup grated parmesan, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 2 large eggs, 2 fresh garlic cloves, and some olive oil and butter for that gorgeous garlic topping. A pinch of salt brings all the flavors together beautifully.
Here's How I Make It
Start by melting your mozzarella and cream cheese together in the microwave. While that's happening mix your eggs with the almond flour, baking powder, parmesan and salt in another bowl. Once the cheese is melted fold everything together until you get a nice dough. Pop it in the fridge for at least 4 hours. When you're ready to bake heat the oven to 350°F. Split the dough into 8 pieces roll them into balls then flatten each one between parchment paper. Bake them for about 15 minutes until golden brown. For that amazing garlic butter finish brown some minced garlic in olive oil and butter then brush it over the warm flatbreads with an extra sprinkle of parmesan.
