Keto Garlic Bread
Keto Garlic Bread combines melted mozzarella and cream cheese with almond flour to create a soft, low-carb flatbread. The dough is baked until lightly browned, then topped with a garlic butter made from melted butter, fresh garlic, parsley, and salt, giving it a rich, savory flavor and a slightly crisp finish. This bread offers a chewy texture and is suitable for those limiting carbohydrates.
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.
