It would be a lie to say that this was entirely my recipe. Fathead bread was around way before I found out about it. However, as always I have put my own spin on it and tried to make it a little more special. In this recipe we will be taking the humble Fathead bread and not so much reinventing it but reimagining its use from a simple pizza base to something that can be used for everyday dishes.

Ingredients
Large Egg
1
Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp
Baking Powder
1 tsp
Almond Flour
1/3 cup
Full fat Cream Cheese
2 tbsp
Grated Mozzarella Cheese
90g
Grated Mature Cheddar Cheese
55g
Method
Preheat the oven to 180c (fan)
Add the Mozzarella, Cheddar and Cream Cheese into a large mixing bowl and pop it in the microwave for about 2 mins, checking and mixing after 1 minute. repeat until all the cheeses have melted.
Once all the cheeses are combined, add all of the dried ingredients and mix with a silicone spatula until the mixture is nice and smooth (it should look like very thick semolina a this point).
Cut off 2 large sheets of baking parchment, each around 60cm long, laying the first on a flat surface.
Empty the mixture into the middle of the baking parchment and spread it indo a disk about 5″ across then place the other piece baking parchment squarely on top.
With a rolling pin roll out the mixture between the two bits of baking parchment until it is about the depth of a 10p coin (you can adjust this according to how you like it).
Cut the rolled out sheet in two so that it will fit in the oven
back for 3-5 minutes depending on how crispy you would like it. Be aware it will cook very fast so stay close.
Once baked, leave it on the side before removing the baking parchments and cutting into 8-10 rectangles.
A great way to use this recipe is to sandwich a yummy mixture between the slices. Good options would be Prawn Mayo, Chicken, Bacon & Mayo (as I have done above) or using it as a bed for Salmon & Cream Cheese (below). The uses are limited only by your imagination. This is a fantastic low carb base for many other dishes so go and discover, and don’t forget to leave your ideas in the comments for others to enjoy!
Love using flatbread for my pizza bases, great idea on a different way to use it.
