Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.25 cups Almond Flour
  • 1.5 tsp Baking Powder heaping teaspoon
  • 4 oz Goat Cheese or cream cheese
  • ½ cup Grated Pecorino Romano Cheese or other grated cheese
  • 2 each Eggs
  • 10 each Kalamata Olives, Whole or black olives
  • ½ tsp Italian Seasoning
  • ½ tsp Garlic Powder
  • ½ tsp Rosemary whole or crushed

Equipment

  • pizza pan or cookie sheet, measuring cup, fork, knife, cutting board, medium-sized microwavable bowl, oven, microwave

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to regular bake at 350°F
  2. 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.
  3. In the measuring cup, combine the almond flour and baking powder.
  4. Add these dry ingredients to the cheese mixture, plus herbs/spices and the sliced Kalamata olives. Mix until blended.
  5. 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)
  6. 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.
  7. 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.

Programming 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.
  • These pair well with our Hearty Garden Soup or our Beefy Butternut and Bok Choy Soup.
  • To create a flatbread version, omit the baking powder entirely or reduce it to half.
