Keto Garlic Bread
Description
Keto Garlic Bread uses a blend of mozzarella and cream cheese melted together with almond flour and an egg to form a dough. The dough is kneaded and rolled flat before baking until it develops a light golden color. After the initial bake, it’s topped with a garlic butter spread made from finely chopped fresh garlic, parsley, and melted butter, then returned to the oven briefly to enhance flavor and texture. The result is a flavorful flatbread with a tender interior and a bit of crispness on the edges.
Featuring almond flour instead of wheat, this recipe fits a low-carb diet and provides a chewy bread alternative with a distinctive cheesy taste. The garlic butter adds aromatic depth and a fresh herbal note from parsley, while a pinch of sea salt lifts the overall flavor.
The bread can be sliced to serve as a side for soups or salads, or enjoyed on its own. Adjusting almond flour or substituting coconut flour can accommodate different dietary needs, and lightly oiling hands helps manage the sticky dough during preparation.
If the bread cools and becomes stringy, gently reheating it will restore its texture. Consider portioning to six servings, with nutritional info available for carb counts and calories per portion.
Ingredients
For the Dough
- 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese 175g, pre-shredded
- 1 egg medium
- ¾ cup almond flour 80g, add 2 extra tablespoon if using ground almonds, fine
- 2 tablespoon cream cheese
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
For the garlic butter
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
- 1 garlic finely chopped, small clove
- 1 teaspoon parsley finely chopped, fresh
- pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 180 Celsius/360 Fahrenheit.
- Melt the mozzarella and cream cheese in a non-stick pot over a low heat, stirring continuously. Alternatively, heat in a microwave (1 ½ minutes, stirring half way through). Take off the stove and/or make sure the cheese is melted, but not bubbling.
- Stir in the egg, almond flour and baking powder. Start to combine using a fork, then use your hands to knead into a ball of smooth dough. This can be easier if you lightly oil your hands first.
- Place onto a baking tray lined with baking paper and roll out into a flatbread shape. You can do this by either oiling a roller or by rolling the dough between two sheets of parchment paper.
- Bake 17 minutes or until lightly browned.
- In the meantime, chop garlic and parsley and melt butter. Mix and spread over the flatbread.
- Return to the oven for another 3-5 minutes. Cover with aluminium foil if the top gets too brown.
- Cut into slices and serve.
Notes
- Lightly oil your hands when handling the dough to reduce stickiness and ease kneading.
- If the garlic bread cools and becomes stringy, reheat gently to restore its texture and pliability.
- For a nut-free version, substitute the almond flour with 1/4 cup (30g) coconut flour carefully, adjusting as needed.
- The recipe yields six portions, with each portion containing approximately 6g net carbs.
- If sharing among four people, each quarter of the bread contains about 299 calories and 3.8 net carbs.
