Craving bread on a low-carb diet? Look no further! This ridiculously easy Garlic Parmesan Flatbread is a game-changer. Made with just five simple ingredients, it transforms from a simple mix into a golden, savory, and utterly delicious bread that’s perfect for dipping, topping, or enjoying all on its own.

Ingredients
• ½ cup / 50g grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for topping
• 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 3 large eggs
• ¼ cup / 30g coconut flour
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Salt, to taste (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F / 190°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and a generous pinch of black pepper. Add salt if you wish.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition until the batter is smooth.
4. Gradually stir in the coconut flour until fully combined. Let the mixture rest for 5-7 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid.
5. Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and use a spatula to spread it into a thin, even rectangle or circle.
6. Bake for 15 minutes. Carefully remove from the oven, sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese, and return to the oven for 5 more minutes, or until golden and firm to the touch.

Pro Tips
• Don’t skip the resting step! It’s crucial for allowing the coconut flour to absorb moisture, which results in a better texture.
• Feel free to add a teaspoon of dried herbs like oregano, rosemary, or an Italian blend to the batter for extra flavor.
• For a different savory kick, swap the Parmesan with an equal amount of Pecorino Romano or another sharp, hard cheese.
FAQ

A: Store the cooled flatbread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For best results, reheat it in an oven at 350°F / 175°C or a toaster oven to make it warm and crisp again.
Q: What can I serve with this garlic parmesan flatbread
A: This versatile flatbread is perfect for dipping in low-carb marinara or olive oil, using as a base for a personal pizza, serving alongside a fresh salad or soup, or as a savory side for any keto meal.
