Ingredients
For the Keto Bread Base
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- ¾ cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
For the Garlic Butter Topping
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt to taste
Why These Ingredients Work
Mozzarella and almond flour create a soft, bread-like texture without carbs, while garlic butter and Parmesan add classic garlic bread flavor.
Ingredient Notes
- Mozzarella cheese: Use low-moisture shredded mozzarella for best texture.
- Almond flour: Fine, blanched almond flour works best for smooth dough.
- Garlic: Fresh garlic gives the boldest flavor, but garlic powder works in a pinch.
- Butter: Unsalted butter lets you control the saltiness.
- Parmesan: Adds a savory, slightly crispy finish on top.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Melt the cheeses
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese. Heat in 30-second intervals until fully melted and smooth.
3. Make the dough
Stir almond flour and baking powder into the melted cheese. Add the egg and mix until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
4. Shape the bread
Place dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll into a rectangle about ¼-inch thick.
5. Bake the base
Transfer to the baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden and set.
6. Add garlic butter
Mix melted butter, garlic, parsley, and salt. Brush generously over the baked bread.
7. Final bake
Sprinkle Parmesan on top and return to oven for 3–5 minutes until bubbly and golden.
8. Slice and serve
Cut into strips and enjoy warm, crispy, and fragrant garlic bread.
Pro Tips & Variations
For extra crispiness, broil the bread for the final 1–2 minutes—watch closely. Add shredded cheddar or provolone for a cheesier twist. Want herby garlic bread? Mix Italian seasoning or rosemary into the butter. This bread also works as a keto pizza base—just add sauce and toppings. Leftovers reheat best in the oven or air fryer to restore crisp edges. For dairy-free keto, experiment with plant-based cheese alternatives designed for low-carb diets.
Serving Suggestions
Keto Garlic Bread pairs perfectly with:
- Keto lasagna or pizza casserole
- Creamy tomato or broccoli soup
- Caesar or Italian-style keto salads
- Grilled chicken or steak dinners
It’s also great as an appetizer with low-carb marinara for dipping.
Storage Information
- Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Freezer: Freeze slices for up to 1 month.
- Reheating: Reheat in oven at 350°F or air fryer for best texture.
