Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 cup almond flour: This gluten-free flour provides a nutty flavor and keeps the bread low-carb. You can substitute it with coconut flour, but be cautious as the absorption rate is different.
- 1 cup cottage cheese: Offers a creamy texture and adds protein. Use full-fat for richness or opt for low-fat if you prefer.
- 2 large eggs: They bind the ingredients together, ensuring a fluffy texture. Make sure they’re at room temperature for the best results.
- 1/4 teaspoon salt: Enhances the overall flavor. You can use sea salt or Himalayan salt for variation.
- 1 teaspoon baking powder: This helps the flatbreads rise slightly. Ensure it’s fresh for maximum effectiveness.
- 1 to 2 tablespoons sesame seeds: Adds a delightful crunch and nutty flavor. Feel free to try sunflower seeds or flaxseeds if you like.
- Dried herbs such as oregano, thyme, or Italian seasoning: Customize the flavor profile to your palate. Fresh herbs can also be used, but adjust the quantity accordingly.
- Garlic powder or onion powder: A pinch adds a lovely aromatic depth; adjust based on your taste preference.
How to Make Low-Carb Flatbread
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This ensures the flatbreads don’t stick and makes cleanup easier.
- Mix the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup almond flour, 1 cup cottage cheese, 2 large eggs, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 to 2 tablespoons sesame seeds. If you’re using dried herbs or garlic/onion powder, blend those in too. Mix until everything is smooth and evenly incorporated—this is your heavenly batter.
- Shape the Flatbreads: Scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, dividing it into 12 portions. With a spatula or the back of a spoon, gently spread each portion into a small round flatbread shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Bake: Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and bake for 20 to 22 minutes. Keep an eye on them; they are ready when set and lightly golden around the edges.
- Cool Slightly: Once baked, remove the flatbreads from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. They will firm up as they cool, leaving you with perfectly tasty low-carb flatbreads.
Storing & Reheating
To store your low-carb flatbreads, keep them at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate in a sealed container for up to a week. If you want to freeze them, place the flatbreads in a freezer-safe bag, separated by parchment paper, and store for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, simply reheat in the oven at 350°F (about 5-10 minutes) for a few minutes, or pop them in the microwave for about 30 seconds. You might notice a slight change in texture, but a quick toast or bake will refresh their delightful crispness.
Chef’s Helpful Tips
- Avoid Overmixing: Yes, it’s tempting, but overmixing the batter can lead to denser flatbreads. Mix just until everything is combined for that fluffy texture.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Always ensure your eggs and cottage cheese are at room temperature to help them blend more seamlessly into the batter.
- Adaptable Sizes: Don’t feel confined to small rounds; you could shape them into triangles or even squares, depending on your preference.
- Add Flavor Boosts: Experiment with different spices or cheese for varied flavors, like adding some Parmesan for a cheesy twist.
- Make Ahead: If you’re prepping for a busy week, you can make a batch ahead of time; they’re fantastic to have on hand for quick snacks or meals.
