Low Carb Garlic “Bread” Recipe
This Low Carb Garlic “Bread” is a perfect keto-friendly side for soups, salads, or pasta alternatives. The cheesy, garlicky flavors make it incredibly satisfying, and the almond flour gives it a delicious bread-like texture without the carbs. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  1. Set the oven temperature:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Make the Dough

  1. Melt the cheeses:
    • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the cheeses are fully melted and combined into a smooth mixture.
  2. Mix in the dry ingredients:
    • Add almond flour, garlic powder, baking powder, and salt to the melted cheese mixture. Stir to combine.
  3. Add the egg:
    • Add the egg to the mixture and mix well until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but workable.
  4. Shape the dough:
    • Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet and press it out into a flat, rectangular shape, about 1/4-inch thick. This will be the base of your garlic “bread.”

Step 3: Add the Garlic Butter Topping

  1. Prepare the topping:
    • In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, chopped parsley, and Parmesan cheese.
  2. Brush the topping:
    • Brush the garlic butter mixture evenly over the top of the dough.

Step 4: Bake the Garlic “Bread”

  1. Bake until golden:
    • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the garlic “bread” is firm to the touch.
  2. Broil for extra crispiness (optional):
    • If you like a crispier garlic “bread,” broil for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.

Step 5: Slice and Serve

  1. Let it cool slightly:
    • Allow the garlic “bread” to cool for a couple of minutes, then slice into sticks or squares. Serve warm with marinara sauce or your favorite keto-friendly dip.
