- Cheese Mix: Feel free to mix in some cheddar or parmesan for extra pizzazz!

FAQs
1. Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
Coconut flour is more absorbent, so you’ll need less of it. The ratio is about 1/4 cup of coconut flour for every 1 cup of almond flour, and you may need to add more liquid.
2. How can I make this ahead of time?
Prepare the dough and shape it, then refrigerate it for up to a day. Bake right before you’re ready to serve!
3. Is this flatbread gluten-free?
You bet! Made with almond flour, this flatbread is a fantastic gluten-free option for those who need it.
