Ingredients
Scale
Cheesy Garlic Breadstick Dough
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional for extra garlic flavor)
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and almond flour. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheese melts and the mixture forms a dough. Add the egg, minced garlic, garlic powder, and salt, mixing well until fully combined into a uniform dough.
- Shape the breadsticks: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a rectangular shape about 1/2 inch thick. Remove the top parchment paper and cut the dough into breadstick-sized strips.
- Bake until golden: Transfer the cut dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes or until the breadsticks are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve warm: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with extra garlic or herbs for added flavor.
Notes
- Ensure the mozzarella is shredded fresh for best melting results.
- Microwaving the cheese and almond flour mixture carefully to avoid overheating is key to forming a proper dough.
- These breadsticks are best enjoyed warm but can be reheated in the oven or air fryer.
- For added flavor, you can brush the finished breadsticks with garlic butter or sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
- Almond flour is essential for keto compliance, avoid substituting for all-purpose flour.
