Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese Fresh mozzarella for better meltability
  • 0.75 cups almond flour Can adjust for sticky dough
  • 2 oz cream cheese Softened for easier mixing
  • 1 egg Beaten
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder Helps to rise slightly

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for about 30-60 seconds until melted, then stir until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, mix the almond flour, baking powder, and beaten egg together until well combined.
  4. Pour the melted cheese mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. This mixture may be sticky.
Cooking
  1. Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to your desired thickness.
  2. Remove the top layer of parchment and bake the dough in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

Store leftover dough tightly wrapped in plastic or an airtight container; refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for longer. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reuse.
