Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese
  • 1 1/4 cups almond flour (finely ground)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional topping: 2 tablespoons melted butter mixed with 1 clove minced garlic
  • Extra chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that the flatbread will bake evenly and develop a nice golden crust.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This step is crucial to prevent sticking; otherwise, you risk tearing the flatbread when trying to lift it off the pan.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Melt them in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until you achieve a smooth, homogenous mixture—this should take about 1-2 minutes total.
  4. While the cheese is melting, take a separate bowl and mix together the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Make sure there are no lumps for a uniform texture in the flatbread.
  5. Once the cheese mixture is ready, pour it into the dry ingredients. Add the egg, minced garlic, olive oil, and chopped parsley. Mix everything together until a cohesive dough forms. If the dough feels too sticky, knead it briefly with your hands to bring it together.
  6. Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten it into an oval or rectangle shape, making sure it's about 1/4-inch thick. Keeping the thickness even ensures consistent baking and prevents any parts from burning.
  7. Bake the flatbread in your preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye on it—the edges should turn a lovely golden color, and the center should look set but not overly browned.
  8. If you’re using the optional garlic butter topping, melt the butter and mix in the minced garlic while the flatbread is baking. After taking the flatbread out of the oven, brush this mixture on top for an extra burst of flavor.
  9. Let the flatbread rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps it firm up a little more, making it easier to cut into pieces. Enjoy it warm!
