Ingredients

  • 3 cups Fine Almond Flour plus extra for dusting
  • 1 tsp Xanthan Gum DO NOT OMIT
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt extra for the top
  • 2-3 tsp Fresh Rosemary minced (extra for the top)
  • 4 tbsp Cold Butter cut into chunks
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella
  • 1/4 cup Shredded Parmesan
  • 2 Eggs reserve 1 egg for the egg wash

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 F and line a cast iron skillet with parchment paper.
  • In a food processor, combine the almond flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, sea salt, and rosemary. Pulse until combined.
  • Add in the diced, cold butter and shredded cheese. Pulse again until it starts to crumble and form into a ball. Finally, add in one egg and mix until the dough is one even mixture.
  • Place the dough into the cast iron skillet that's lined with parchment. Lightly fold the dough over itself in the pan so that it forms a ball (this helps prevent cracking during baking). Use your hands to evenly pat the dough out to about 1 inch thickness. The dough doesn't need to be exactly flush against the sides but close to the edge (the bread will expand slightly as it bakes).
  • Use your thumb to dimple the top and then brush the top lightly with the egg wash. Season generously with sea salt and rosemary.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes in the oven. The bread should be nicely golden brown and sizzle a bit when removed. Allow it to rest until lightly warm to the tough before cutting into it (it's a very tender bread otherwise). Serve with smoked garlic confit if desired or some olive oil over the top.

Notes

Don't have a cast iron skillet? Try using a round cake pan or an 8x8 square pan too. These will store well in a container for up to 5 days and freeze for up to 3 months.
