Ingredients:
- 2 cups almond flour (or coconut flour if preferred)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter (plus extra for brushing)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano (optional)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for the bread dough)
For the garlic butter topping:
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 2-3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a loaf pan.
- Prepare the bread dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and melted butter until smooth.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until fully combined.
- Stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese to the dough, mixing well.
- Shape and bake:
- Transfer the dough to a lined baking sheet or a greased loaf pan, pressing it into an even layer.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare the garlic butter:
- While the bread is baking, prepare the garlic butter topping. In a small bowl, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Mix well.
- Brush with garlic butter:
- Once the bread is baked, remove it from the oven and brush the top generously with the garlic butter mixture.
- If desired, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
- Serve:
- Let the garlic bread cool for a few minutes before slicing it. Serve warm as a side to your keto meals, such as Keto Creamy Tuscan Shrimp or a hearty salad.
Tips:
- Texture tip: If you want a slightly softer texture, you can use coconut flour instead of almond flour, but you’ll need to adjust the liquid content, as coconut flour absorbs more moisture.
- For extra flavor: You can add 1/2 teaspoon of Italian seasoning or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dough for more flavor.
