Steps by step instructions
How to make thin-crust low carb lavash bread pizza?
STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Mince one clove of fresh garlic and add to a small bowl with the olive oil. Then add the chili flakes and oregano. Whisk together until mixed through.
STEP 2: Place one sheet of lavash bread onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Brush evenly with the olive oil mixture. Make sure to get all the corners and any little dimples in the bread.
You want all the garlic, oregano, and chili flavors throughout this pizza. However, if you don't like it hot you can omit the chili flakes.
STEP 3: Top the pizza with the mozzarella, and salami ribbons, and then sprinkle it with the freshly grated parmesan.
STEP 4: Bake in the preheated oven at 425°F for 4-6 minutes or until edges are golden.
- You want it baked enough so it is crispy and not floppy.
- This bread can crisp up real quick so keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn't get too crispy or burnt.
Recipe tips
Top Tip: watch the flatbread pizza so that it does not overcook as it can burn very quickly.
Sauce: brush the olive oil sauce mixture evenly so that the lavash bread is slightly moist. However, adding too much can make the pizza soggy.
- Serving: serve with a side salad like this Low Carb Panzanella Salad
- Storage: wrap any leftovers in plastic wrap and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days.
