Easy Keto Focaccia

Easy Keto Focaccia combines mozzarella and cream cheese with almond flour and baking powder to create a low-carb, chewy bread alternative. The dough is kneaded quickly while warm to ensure uniform texture, then dimpled and topped with rosemary and coarse salt before baking. Olive oil spray helps achieve a golden crust, making this focaccia suitable for those following a ketogenic diet or anyone looking for a flavorful grain-free bread option.

Ingredients

  • olive oil spray form
Bread:
  • 1½ cups mozzarella cheese 6 ounces, shredded part-skim
  • 1 ounce cream cheese cubed
  • 1½ cups almond flour 6 ounces, superfine
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder gluten-free if needed
  • 1 egg lightly beaten, large
Toppings:
  • 1 tablespoon rosemary leaves
  • ½ teaspoon salt coarse

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray the bottom of a square 8-inch baking dish with olive oil. Line it with a parchment square, and spray the parchment paper with more oil.
  2. Place the mozzarella in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Top it with the cream cheese cubes. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir, and then microwave for 40 more seconds.
  3. Stir again, and add the almond flour, baking powder, and egg. Stir with a rubber spatula, then knead with your hands. Work quickly, kneading the dough before it cools and making sure it's completely uniform.
  4. Press the dough into the prepared baking dish. This is easier to do with lightly oiled hands. With your fingertips, make dimples in the dough.
  5. Scatter the rosemary leaves on the bread, gently pressing them into the dough. Sprinkle the bread with coarse salt. Liberally spray the top of the bread with olive oil.
  6. Bake the focaccia until puffed and golden brown, 15-17 minutes.
  7. Cool the bread in the pan on a cooling rack for 15 minutes, then cut it into nine squares and serve.

Notes

  • Select a good quality extra virgin olive oil spray to enhance flavor and crust texture when topping the focaccia.
  • Work the dough quickly when kneading to ensure it remains warm and uniform before pressing it into the baking dish.
  • Serve the focaccia soon after baking for the best texture and flavor; leftovers can be frozen or refrigerated for several days.
