Ingredients List

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour (or coconut flour for a low-carb option)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (for added protein and moisture)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or any cheese of your choice)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for flavor)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough:
    In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder (if using), and a pinch of salt. Add the Greek yogurt, egg, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Stir well to form a thick dough.
  2. Knead the Dough:
    Lightly flour your hands with almond flour, then knead the dough for 1-2 minutes until it’s smooth. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more almond flour until it’s easy to handle.
  3. Roll the Dough:
    Divide the dough into 4-6 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Roll each ball out into a flat circle, about 1/4-inch thick.
  4. Cook the Bread:
    Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the pan is hot, place one dough circle onto the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  5. Serve:
    Once all the pieces are cooked, remove from the skillet and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm with a dollop of yogurt or your favorite breakfast spread.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve with scrambled eggs, avocado, or your favorite protein-packed breakfast.
  • Use as a wrap for sandwiches or as a base for your favorite toppings.
  • Great with a side of fresh fruit or a vegetable salad for a complete meal.

Storage

  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in a pan or microwave.

Tips & Variations

  • Add More Cheese: You can add more cheese into the dough for a cheesier result. Try mixing in cheddar, feta, or Parmesan.
  • Herb Variation: Experiment with adding herbs like rosemary, thyme, or oregano to the dough for extra flavor.
  • Make it Vegan: Substitute the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons water) and use dairy-free yogurt and cheese.
