Keto Flax Focaccia - easy & customizable low carb bread - YUM!

This bread makes me soooo happy. I'm a ketosaurus who will never not crave and eat bread- it's just a matter of replacing as much bread in my diet as possible with keto substitutes.

This substitute... is so satisfying and amazing.
And TOTALLY customizable.
My versions so far include:
1. Kalamata rosemary

2. Garlic Cheddar

3. And today's... KITCHEN SINK EXTRAVAGANZA!

In here we've got;

     cheddar, swiss, gruyere, feta cheese blend

     italian seasoning

     basil pesto

     caramelized onion and garlic

     salt

     pepper

     curry powder

DON'T FREAK OUT

the amount of ingredients /versus/ the end result is a highly balanced and savory, amazing bread that is perfect for sandwiches of any kind.

OKAY SO

credit to @Healthfulpursuit for the inspiration for this recipe to blossom- her basic recipe, I follow, then add/amend with extra oils, flavorings, etc. - SO THANK YOU!

Healthful Pursuit Flax Focaccia <---original recipe

For the basic recipe you need:

DRY:

2 cups flax seeds/flax meal

1 tbsp baking powder

salt

1 TSP curry powder - THIS MAY SOUND WEIRD but the flax can get "fishy" when baked for some reason, so I added in the curry powder (just a bit) to off-set that flavor and it worked so well! so I recommend it highly highly for every version of this recipe!

WET:

5 eggs

1/2 cup water

1/3 cup olive or avocado oil

Kitchen sink focaccia add-ins:

1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

few shakes of dried rosemary

some salt (1/2 tsp?)

1/2 tsp black pepper

2 tbsp pesto

cup of whatever cheese(s)

half large red caramelized onion, 

3 cloves garlic

Supplemental directions for above^

sautee onions in 2 tbsp olive oil, garlic, 2 tbsp pesto until lightly browned

add an ice cube, let melt, then add sautee to wet ingredients

Kalamata & Rosemary focaccia add-ins

1/2 tsp italian seasoning

1/2 tsp dried rosemary & leaves from 1 rosemary sprig

1 clove crushed garlic

15 kalamata olives sliced desired size (1/2s or 1/4s) depending on how much olive you want to handle each bite!

Garlic Cheddar focaccia add-ins:

1 cup cheddar

4-6 garlic cloves

DIRECTIONS!

Of course, turn on your oven - to 350 first!

1. Chop onion in inch long strips (like dicing, just fewer cross hatches) and begin sautee in oil

2. After a bit of browning, add garlic & pesto

3.Mix dry ingredients together... including cheese!

4. Crack eggs, add water & oil to bowl

5. Check for browning on sautee then add ice cube, let melt, add to wet ingredients & mix

6. Mix with dry ingredients gently and thoroughly

7. Spray two cooking pans down and place half of the mixture in each

I used one 8x12 and one 8x8

8. Sprinkle extra cheese on top! I leave cheese off one because husband thinks too much cheese is bad - (SILLY BOY!)

9. Cook for 25 minutes or until cheese looks a bit broiled/brownded 😍

10. PULL IT OUT & EAT IT UP!!!!!!!!!!
