Ingredients:
For the Keto Garlic Bread Base:
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
For the Topping:
- 1/2 cup low-carb marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Make the Keto Garlic Bread Base:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients and eggs to the melted cheese mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Shape the Dough:
- Place the dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet and use your hands or a rolling pin to shape it into a rectangle or oval, about 1/2 inch thick.
4. Bake the Base:
- Bake the garlic bread base in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until it becomes golden brown.
5. Add Toppings:
- Remove the base from the oven and spread the low-carb marinara sauce evenly over the surface.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top and arrange sliced pepperoni over the cheese.
6. Bake Again:
- Return the bread to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Garnish and Serve:
- Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
- Allow the keto pepperoni garlic bread to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
