Here’s a delicious recipe for cheesy keto garlic bread that you can make using almond flour or coconut flour as a low-carb alternative to traditional bread. This recipe uses a base of fathead dough, which is a popular choice for keto-friendly bread substitutes.
Ingredients:
For the Dough:
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 oz cream cheese
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour or coconut flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
For the Garlic Butter:
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Cheese Topping:
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp dried oregano (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Heat it in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until the cheese is completely melted and well combined. Be careful not to overheat.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour or coconut flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.
- Add the dry mixture to the melted cheese mixture and stir until it forms a dough-like consistency.
- Beat the eggs in a small bowl and then add them to the dough, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a rectangular shape, approximately 1/2-inch thick.
- Remove the top layer of parchment paper and transfer the dough onto a baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, melted butter, chopped parsley (if using), salt, and pepper. Brush this garlic butter mixture evenly over the dough.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and dried oregano (if using) evenly over the dough.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges of the dough are golden brown.
- Remove the cheesy keto garlic bread from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Slice it into pieces and serve it warm as a delicious keto-friendly garlic bread option.
This cheesy keto garlic bread is perfect for those following a low-carb or ketogenic diet. It’s rich, flavorful, and makes for a satisfying snack or side dish. Enjoy!
