Delicious Garlic Flatbread That Fits Your Diet
I’ve finally figured out this low carb flatbread that gives me those delightful garlic bread vibes in my kitchen. After loads of attempts, I’ve nailed this golden cheesy garlic goodness without piling on carbs. Now, it’s my go-to sidekick that turns anything from a basic soup into a fulfilling meal.
Why This Hits the Mark
This flatbread has become essential in my household. Every time I whip it up, the garlic aroma fills the air, and my family comes running. It’s perfect when I’m longing for bread but want to keep it low carb. I love how versatile it is; you can quickly serve it as a side or make a keto pizza out of it.
What You Need
You’ll be amazed at how this works with ingredients you probably already have. Grab 2 large eggs, 2 cups of shredded mozzarella, 2 ounces of cream cheese, 1 cup of almond flour, 1/4 cup grated parmesan, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 2 cloves of fresh garlic, and don’t forget some olive oil and butter for that superb garlic topping. A sprinkle of salt brings it all together perfectly.
My Cooking Steps
Start by melting your mozzarella and cream cheese in the microwave. While that’s happening, mix your eggs, almond flour, baking powder, parmesan, and salt in another bowl. Once the cheese is gooey, combine it all for a smooth dough. Chill it in the fridge for at least 4 hours. When you’re set to cook, preheat your oven to 350°F. Divide the dough into 8 pieces, form each into a ball, and flatten them between parchment paper. Bake them for about 15 minutes until they’re golden. For a fantastic garlic finish, cook some minced garlic in olive oil and butter until it smells heavenly, then brush it over the warm flatbreads and sprinkle some extra parmesan on top.

Yummy Serving Suggestions
I enjoy having these flatbreads with hot soup or a fresh salad. Sometimes, I get a little fancy and use them to make mini pizzas. They’re fantastic for dipping into hummus, guacamole, or any creamy cheese dip you like.
Prep Ahead and Keep Fresh
If you wrap the dough tightly in plastic and pop it in a freezer bag, it can stay good for a month. Got some leftover flatbreads? Just store them in the fridge and reheat them in your oven or toaster. They’ll crisp up nicely again.
Helpful Kitchen Tips
Just to clarify, this isn’t a standard bread method. It’s made to be flat and dense. You don’t need yeast since the cheese and almond flour combine to create the perfect texture. When I’m tight on time, I quickly turn these into pizzas for an easy meal.
Why These Flatbreads Are a Win
This works so well because it blends all those cozy comfort food flavors—garlic, cheese, and butter—while being low carb. It’s become a reliable choice in my kitchen, especially when I’m craving bread.

A Healthier Choice
Switching to almond flour was a game-changer for me. It keeps the carbs lower and packs in good nutrients like vitamin E and magnesium. Plus, it’s heart-friendly, which makes me happy to share this with my family.
Quick Pizza Fix
My family loving these as mini pizzas really surprises me. Just throw on your favorite toppings—I usually go with mozzarella, pepperoni, and fresh basil from my garden. Stick them under the broiler and dinner is ready faster than waiting for takeout.
Crowd-Pleasing Treats
Whenever friends come over, these flatbreads are a huge hit. I slice them up and serve with spinach artichoke dip or garlic butter. Even my pals who aren’t into keto can’t resist them.
Goes With Everything
These flatbreads are my kitchen star. They pair nicely with everything from grilled chicken to roasted veggies. That cheesy, garlicky goodness makes any meal feel so fulfilling.
