Equipment

Ingredients

Dough:

  • 2 tablespoon Warm water
  • 1 teaspoon Yeast
  • Pinch Coconut flour
  • 1 ½ cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup Sour cream
  • 1 Large egg
  • ¾ cup Almond flour
  • cup Unflavoured protein powder
  • 2 tablespoon Coconut Flour
  • ½ teaspoon Baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Baking powder

Topping:

  • 2 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon Za’atar
  • ½ cup finely crumbled Akawi or Feta cheese optional
  • Sesame seeds optional

Instructions

  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Dough:

  • Mix the warm - not hot - water, yeast, and pinch of coconut flour. Allow to sit somewhere warm for 10 minutes.
  • Measure mozzarella into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat - 45-60 seconds at a time - until cheese has melted.
  • Measure remaining dough ingredients - including yeast mixture - into a food processor, blitz to combine. Add melted cheese, pulse until well combined - you don’t want to see any sections of unmixed cheese, etc.
  • Cover dough with plastic wrap, allow to sit somewhere warm for 30 minutes.

Assembly:

  • With wet hands, divide dough into 4 equal pieces.
  • One at a time, flatten dough out into rounds that are about 6” in diameter, place on parchment lined baking sheets.
  • Mix together the olive oil and zataar, divide among prepared dough rounds. Spread evenly over each, leaving a bit of a border around the edge.
  • Sprinkle with crumbled cheese, if desired.
  • Allow to rise in a warm spot for another 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees,
  • Bake for about 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  • Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly before eating. Best served hot - fresh out of the oven or reheated.
