Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- 2 tbsps. cream cheese at room temperature
- ¾ cup almond flour
- 1 whole egg at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasonings
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a microwave safe bowl add mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave it for a minute until the cheese is completely melted.
- To the melted cheese mixture add egg, baking powder, garlic powder, Italian seasonings, ground pepper and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Transfer the cheese mixture dough to a parchment paper and place another parchment paper over it and roll the dough to an oval shape to ½ inch thick. Discard the top parchment paper.
- Transfer the rolled cheese mixture along with the bottom parchment paper to the baking sheet. Set aside.
- 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 for 12-15 minutes until golden on top. Remove the baked bread from the oven and place it in a cooling rack.
- Once it's cooled down, cut into breadsticks using a pizza cutter.
- Serve the garlic bread with marinara sauce on the side.
Notes
- 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.
