🫓 Low-Carb Flaky Layered Flatbread (Flourless Mediterranean Style)

🌿 Description

This flourless flatbread is soft inside, lightly crispy outside, and beautifully layered. Made with mozzarella, eggs, and almond flour, it delivers rich flavor without traditional wheat flour. Inspired by Mediterranean pan breads, it’s brushed with olive oil and lightly golden in a skillet.

Perfect for wraps, dipping into hummus, or serving with grilled meats — satisfying and low in carbs.

🛒 Ingredients (Makes 6 Flatbreads)

1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp cream cheese
1 cup almond flour
1 large egg
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil (plus more for brushing)
Optional: ½ tsp dried oregano or za’atar

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Melt the Cheese

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese.
Heat 45–60 seconds until melted.
Stir until smooth.

Step 2: Form the Dough

Add almond flour, egg, baking powder, salt, olive oil, and herbs.
Mix quickly while warm.
Knead into a soft dough.

Step 3: Create Layers

Divide into 6 balls.
Roll each ball between parchment into thin rounds.
Lightly brush with olive oil and fold in half, then half again.
Roll gently again to flatten (this creates light layering).

Step 4: Cook

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Cook each flatbread 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Brush lightly with olive oil while warm.

❓ Q & A

Q1: Is this really zero carbs?

No. Almond flour and cheese contain small amounts of carbs. It is low-carb, not zero-carb.

Q2: Can I replace almond flour?

Yes:

Coconut flour (use only ¼ cup, as it absorbs more)
Ground sunflower seeds (nut-free option)

Q3: How do I make it dairy-free?

This version depends on cheese for structure, so dairy-free substitutions won’t give the same layered texture.

Q4: Can I bake instead of pan-fry?

Yes. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 10–12 minutes until golden.

Q5: Does it help with weight loss?

Low-carb breads may help reduce overall carb intake, but results depend on your total diet and lifestyle.
