Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Fathead Dough

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for 30–60 seconds until melted and stir until smooth.

Tip: Use low-moisture mozzarella for a firmer, less oily dough.

Add Dry Ingredients

Mix in almond flour, egg, baking powder, and salt. Knead until a soft, pliable dough forms. If sticky, lightly flour your hands or parchment paper with almond flour.

Shape the Flatbreads

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each ball between parchment papers into a flat circle about ½ cm thick. Repeat for all portions.

Tip: Keeping uniform thickness ensures even cooking.

Cook the Flatbreads

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook each flatbread 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown. They should be slightly puffed and soft, not dry or overly crisp.

Prepare Garlic Butter

Combine melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, and a pinch of salt. Brush generously over warm flatbreads. The heat of the bread will release the garlic aroma, creating a bakery-fresh flavor.

Serve & Enjoy

Serve immediately while warm, or keep them soft for later meals. These flatbreads are perfect for dipping, wrapping, or pairing with keto dishes.

Bonus: They stay soft even when cooled, making them great for meal prep.
