You know, I really don’t miss wheat flour bread at all. I always hated the crazy bloat I would get every time I ate it. For a long time I just skipped the bread completely, that is, until I created a 90 Second Keto Bread that changed my life.

Next came a Fathead Pizza Crust, and then this delicious Cheesy Keto Flatbread! There had been sooo many times I had wished for a flatbread, especially to accompany hearty soups and salads, or to add to our ‘appetizer night’. So I was pretty excited when I finally created this delicious Cheesy Keto Flatbread recipe! Appetizer night just got a whole lot better!

Ingredients

  • olive oil
  • mozzarella
  • almond flour
  • sea salt
  • spicy spaghetti seasoning
  • cream cheese
  • an egg
  • cheddar cheese

Spicy Spaghetti Seasoning – Although Clubhouse makes an excellent variation, I prefer to make my own Spicy Spaghetti Seasoning! It’s easy, has many uses and absolutely delicious! I love to add this to my Fathead Pizza Crust and Low Carb Biscuits because it adds such a tasty flavour. Don’t have any/don’t want to make it? Simply swap it for Italian seasoning.

How to make keto flatbread

Heat oven to 400° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread 1/2 tbsp olive oil evenly over the parchment paper and set it aside.

In a medium bowl combine grated mozzarella, almond flour, sea salt and spicy spaghetti seasoning. Mix well, then place cubed cream cheese on top.

Bake for 14-18 minutes, until the bread has begun to brown and the cheese has melted and bubbled.

Expert Tips

  • If the cheese has not completely melted after the two sets of microwaving, put the bowl back in for an additional 20 seconds to ensure it has melted.
  • This dough can be very sticky, so tricky to work with. If this is the case, oil your hands with olive oil.
  • Working the dough out with your hands rather than rolling with a rolling pin creates the proper flatbread texture.
  • This Keto Flatbread can burn quickly so check it at the 14 minute mark and go from there.

What to pair with Cheesy Keto Flatbread

To Dip:

  • Homemade Sugar Free Pizza Sauce
  • Balsamic Vinegar Dip – Use a soup plate or a special dish made for balsamic vinegar dip. Add about 2 parts olive oil and then 1 part balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle your choice spices on top such as garlic powder, sea salt, oregano, thyme, rosemary and/or basil.

    Would it be a good idea to add jalapenos to this? Or what would you recommend to spice this up a little bit?

    1. Aleta says:

      sliced jalapeños would be an excellent option! I used to make a flatbread for my step son and he loved spice so I would add sliced jalapeños to the top! Jalapeños only have 0.5 g net carbs per pepper so they would also be an excellent low carb addition.

    How much Parmesan do we use in step 2?

    1. Aleta says:

      Hey Joanne! So sorry about this, after making this recipe couple more times I decided to remove the parmesan from the recipe. I thought I remembered to remove that ingredient from the recipe card, but clearly missed a spot! Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it!!

  3. Sherry says:

    Where would I find spicy spaghetti seasoning?
    TIA

    1. Aleta says:

      Hey Sherry! If you want to buy the seasoning, I like the clubhouse brand. I also wrote a recipe for it if you would like to make your own. https://mamabearscookbook.com/easy-spicy-spaghetti-seasoning-recipe/
