Servings: 6

Servings: 6
Ingredients
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella (or other) cheese
  • 3 cups All-Purpose Baking Mix
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder
  • 1¼ teaspoons sea salt, divided
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1½ teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed
  • 1½ teaspoons dried oregano
  • ½ cup black olives or kalamata olives, chopped or finely diced
  • ¼ cup sundried tomatoes, finely sliced
  • 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 2 eggs, separated
Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a baking sheet
  2. In a food chopper or food processor, pulse the cheese until reduced to small granules, about the size of couscous.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the processed cheese, baking mix, xanthan gum, baking powder, 1 teaspoon of the salt, the onion powder, garlic powder, rosemary, oregano, olives, and tomatoes. Mix well. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil and the vinegar and mix quickly.  Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on high speed, beat the egg whites until stiff. Blend in the egg yolks and 2 tablespoons of the remaining oil at low speed. Pour into the reserved dough mixture and mix together with a spoon.
  5. Place the dough into the baking sheet and, using your hands, shape into an 11" x 12" rectangle. Alternately, cover the dough with parchment paper and use a rolling pin to roll the dough ½ inch thick.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and, using the blunt handle of a wooden spoon or other small rounded instrument, make small depressions in the surface every inch or so.  Brush the surface with the remaining 2 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with the remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt.  Bake for an additional 8 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  7. Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut the flatbread into six 4" x 6" pieces.
