mix the Carbquik with hot water until it stops sticking, grease a baking sheet or use parchment paper over it, spread dough evenly and then add the ricotta cheese on top and spread across evenly as well, add the mozzarella and your choice of topping—keeping in mind calories may change depending on the amount you modify or choose to use. Finally, bake on lower rack for 12-15 min. Yes I opted out on pizza sauce.
When I first started focusing on macro-friendly meals, I struggled to find snacks that felt indulgent but still fit into my daily carb, fat, and protein targets. This pepperoni flatbread recipe has been a game changer for me. The use of Carbquik baking mix helps keep the carbs low while delivering a great texture when baked. I find that mixing the dough just until it stops sticking makes spreading it on the baking sheet much easier and results in a nicely even base. One tip I’ve learned is to skip the pizza sauce, as it can add unnecessary sugars and calories, which is why the combination of ricotta and mozzarella cheeses works so well to keep the flatbread creamy and satisfying. The pepperoni slices provide a savory punch, and adding jalapeño slices brings a nice kick without extra macros. Fresh basil on top adds a refreshing hint of flavor to balance everything out. This dish is also super customizable. You can experiment with different toppings like mushrooms or bell peppers, but it’s important to track those to avoid exceeding your macros. I bake the flatbread on the lower rack at 450°F for about 12-15 minutes, which gives the crust a slight crispiness while melting the cheese perfectly. Overall, this recipe is perfect for anyone wanting to enjoy a pizza-inspired craving without breaking their calorie or macro goals. Plus, it’s quick to prepare and satisfies savory food cravings in a nutritious way. Give it a try next time you want a filling snack that supports your fitness goals!
