How to make keto garlic bread (step-by-step photos)

STEP 1: MAKE THE KETO BREAD DOUGH

The first step is to make the low-carb mozzarella cheese dough by using the recipe below and watching the quick video.

In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the mozzarella cheese, almond flour, and cream cheese.

Stir, then heat again.

Add the large egg and mix until the dough ball forms.

STEP 2: SHAPE THE DOUGH

Place the garlic bread ball of dough onto a baking sheet, lined with baking parchment (or a greased baking sheet). Shape dough into a flat garlic bread so it bakes to a crispy crust and a soft cheesy bread-like center.

Alternatively, you can use the healthy garlic bread recipe to make keto garlic breadsticks using a rolling pin and a knife. Sprinkle some shredded parmesan cheese over each breadstick before baking.

STEP 3: COOK THE GARLIC BREAD

Place the keto garlic cheese bread on a baking sheet (sheet pan) that has been lined with baking parchment paper.

Cut gently almost the entire way through the garlic bread dough before baking. This allows for even cooking and for the slices to bake beautifully.

I like to sprinkle my low-carb garlic bread with extra cheese, for that crispy garlic bread crust.

Watch as the bread bakes that your cheesy crust turns brown and crunchy along the edges.

Bake until golden brown in the oven, toaster oven, and even the air fryer.

How to flavor garlic bread

I also like to add LOTS of garlic, parsley, and sometimes chives to make the best flavors of garlic bread.

In a small bowl mix melted butter with extra garlic, then brush the top of the bread before and after baking.

You will probably have your favorite garlic bread family recipe you want to recreate.

If you really love a punch of garlic, you wish to brush the top of the low-carb garlic bread with extra melted garlic butter mixture. Anything with extra butter in my opinion makes for a delicious side dish.
