How to Make Carnivore Bacon-Cheese Flatbread:
Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix: Combine all the ingredients (except toppings) in a mixing bowl until a dough forms.
Shape and Bake: Flatten the dough onto the baking sheet and bake until golden and crispy.
Top and Finish: Add bacon and optional cheese on top, bake briefly to melt, then serve.
Pro Tips:
- Customize Your Seasoning: If you’re strictly carnivore, skip the Italian seasoning and garlic powder. For keto, feel free to experiment with herbs and spices.
- Make It Extra Crispy: Use a broiler for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking. Watch closely to avoid burning.
This cheesy, bacon-loaded flatbread is perfect as a snack, meal, or appetizer—and it’s totally guilt-free!
Storage & Serving Suggestions
Storage Tips:
- Keep It Fresh: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The cheese keeps everything moist, so no worries about it drying out too quickly!
- Reheat Like a Pro: Pop it in an oven or air fryer at 350°F for a few minutes to bring back that crispy, fresh-from-the-oven texture. Microwave works in a pinch, but it won’t give you that crunch.
- Freeze It (Yes, You Can!): Wrap individual slices in parchment paper, then store in a freezer-safe bag. Reheat straight from frozen when the craving strikes!
Serving Tips:
- Solo Snack Attack: Slice it up and enjoy it warm on its own—it’s satisfying enough to stand alone.
- Dippity-Do: Pair with your favorite carnivore-friendly dips like garlic butter, bone broth, or melted cheese.
- Mini Pizzas, Anyone? Top slices with pepperoni or more bacon, toss on extra cheese, and broil for a few minutes for a pizza-style treat.
- Upgrade Your Breakfast: Serve it alongside scrambled eggs or as a base for a breakfast sandwich with sausage and more bacon (because obviously, more bacon).
- Potluck Showstopper: Cut into bite-sized squares and watch it disappear at your next gathering.
With these tips, you’ll enjoy your Carnivore Cheese Bacon Bread to the very last crumb! 🥓🧀
