Keto Mediterranean Crispy Flatbread

by

Keto Mediterranean Crispy Flatbread with brie, cranberry essence, and toasted walnuts strikes the ideal combination of creamy, crispy, and sweet flavors. This is an elegant yet straightforward dish. The crisp, golden almond flour crust creates a solid foundation for the creamy, melted Brie. Cranberry essence keeps it keto-friendly by adding brightness & a dash of tart fruitiness without adding sugar. The warm, nutty crunch of the toasted walnuts makes a lovely contrast to the smooth cheese. A last spray of hot keto honey, which has the ideal balance of sweetness and heat, brings everything together. This Keto Mediterranean Crispy Flatbread goes well with a salad, is great for entertaining, and tastes great with tea.

  • One tbsp. hot keto honey
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • One cup of mozzarella cheese
  • Quarter cup toasted walnuts
  • One tsp. cranberry essence

INGREDIENT NOTES:

ALMOND FLOUR:

  • Almond flour provides the nutty flavor & crispy base in the flatbread. It is ideal for keto because it has lots of good fat content & has low content of carbs.

MOZZARELLA CHEESE:

  • The dough gains structure and flexibility from the mozzarella cheese. It ties the ingredients together and melts nicely. This is where low-moisture mozzarella shreds work best.

CREAM CHEESE:

  • Cream cheese makes the dough flexible & soft in addition to adding richness. It evens out the texture of the almond flour. Use full-fat cream cheese for richness.

EGG:

  • The egg helps the dough maintain its shape by acting as a binder. It provides slight brown color in to the crust. Eggs at room temperature incorporate into the dough more uniformly.

BRIE CHEESE:

  • Brie cheese melts delightfully over the flatbread and adds a creamy, buttery flavor. Its gentleness complements the cranberry scent nicely. Thinly slice it to ensure consistent melting.

CRANBERRY ESSENCE:

  • Cranberry essence adds a light acidity and a faint fruity aroma without adding sugar. It enhances the flavor of the walnuts and Brie. A teaspoon is sufficient for balance.

WALNUTS:

  • The crunch and rich, earthy flavor of toasted walnuts enhance each bite. Toasting enhances their inherent oils & aroma. Chop them roughly and then sprinkle them on top.

KETO HONEY:

  • A sweet-spicy coating from hot keto honey unifies the tastes. Warm it up a little before sprinkling for a smooth finish.

BAKING POWDER:

  • Baking powder helps the dough stay light rather than dense by adding a little lift. Make sure it’s fresh for optimal effects. It also aids in uniform crust browning.

SALT:

  • Salt enhances the overall flatbread’s flavors. Use a fine sea salt to ensure uniform dispersion. You just need a pinch because the cheese also adds saltiness.
