Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Zataar spice blend
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1 minute or until the mixture is melted and can be stirred smooth.
Add the almond flour, baking powder, and egg to the cheese mixture. Mix well until a dough forms.
Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper. Roll out into a large circle about 1/4 inch thick, similar to a pizza crust.
Transfer the rolled dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a fork to prick holes across the surface to prevent bubbling during baking.
In a small bowl, mix the zataar spice blend with olive oil. Spread this mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle sesame seeds, salt, and black pepper over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing into pieces. Serve warm, and enjoy the traditional taste of Manakish with a keto-friendly twist.
