Ingredients in Keto Bread
- Cheese: I use both mozzarella cheese and cream cheese to make the base of the garlic bread.
- Almond flour: instead of using all-purpose flour, this garlic bread recipe uses almond flour to keep it low carb.
- Egg: this will help bind the low carb dough together.
- Baking powder: make sure the baking powder is fresh and not expired.
- Seasoning: I use garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes in this low carb bread.
- Unsalted butter: since this recipe already uses salt, use unsalted butter so it doesn’t end up salty.
- Garlic: I recommend using freshly minced garlic and not pre-minced garlic for the best flavor.
- Fresh parsley: garlic bread isn’t complete without some parsley!
How To Make Low Carb Garlic Bread
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Make the cheese mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl add mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave it for a minute until the cheese is completely melted.
- Season the cheese mixture: To the melted cheese mixture add egg, baking powder, garlic powder, Italian seasonings, ground pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Roll the dough: Transfer the cheese mixture dough to parchment paper, place another parchment paper over it, and roll the dough to an oval shape of ½ inch thick. Discard the top parchment paper.
- Set aside: Transfer the rolled cheese mixture along with the bottom parchment paper to the baking sheet. Set aside.
- Make the garlic butter topping: In a small microwave safe bowl, add butter and melt for 30 seconds. To the same bowl add garlic and parsley. Brush the garlic butter mixture over the oval shaped dough.
- Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden on top. Remove the baked bread from the oven and place it in a cooling rack.
- Cut and serve: Once it’s cooled down, cut into breadsticks using a pizza cutter. Serve the garlic bread with marinara sauce on the side.
Tips to Make The Best Keto Garlic Bread Recipe
- Freshly shredded cheese is preferred because store-bought shredded cheese has an anti-clumping coating on them so they don’t melt as easily.
- Work quickly with the dough. As the melted cheese in the dough starts to cool, the dough will harden, making it difficult to mix, knead, and shape.
- Make sure to mix the dough until everything is incorporated evenly.
- Bringing the eggs to room temperature will help them incorporate into the dough easier.
- If you’re not a fan of parsley, you can use oregano!
- If you’re not a fan of mozzarella, feel free to swap with any type of shredded cheese. Cheddar is a great alternative.
