pizza pan or cookie sheet, measuring cup, fork, knife, cutting board, medium-sized microwavable bowl, oven, microwave
Ingredients
1.25cupsAlmond Flour
1.5tspBaking Powderheaping teaspoon
4ozGoat Cheeseor cream cheese
½cupGrated Pecorino Romano Cheeseor other grated cheese
2eachEggs
10eachKalamata Olives, Wholeor black olives
½tspItalian Seasoning
½tspGarlic Powder
½tspRosemarywhole or crushed
Instructions
Preheat oven to regular bake at 350°F
In a medium bowl, add the cheese and microwave for about 30 seconds until soft. Blend together with a fork. Whip in the eggs until blended.
In the measuring cup, combine the almond flour and baking powder.
Add these dry ingredients to the cheese mixture, plus herbs/spices and the sliced Kalamata olives. Mix until blended.
Place about 1 Tbsp of olive oil (or avocado oil) in a small bowl, dip a silicone spatula into the bowl and grease a rimmed baking sheet. (be sure it has a 4-sided rim so oil doesn't drip off)
Use said spatula to scoop out the dough, dipping frequently to spread it onto the tray ~ about ¼ inch at the thinnest. I recommend creating a squarish or rectangular shape.
Bake for 12-15 minutes. Keep a nose out and watch for a very slight golden brown color to appear - that means it’s done.
Notes
WHOLE RECIPE: Total Calories - 1,636 . Total Cost - $3.40 . Grade - A . *Monthly Cost - $260Programming Notes:
If the dough is refrigerated it will not rise as high, even when brought up to room temp before baking.
If you're looking for a nut-free flour, Cassava flour (yucca) is delightful and a 1:1 substitute for regular baking flour (less protein and fat though). It is not Keto approved because it has more carbohydrates.
To create a flatbread version, omit the baking powder entirely or reduce it to half.
