Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

• 2 oz cream cheese

• ¾ cup almond flour

• 1 large egg

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp Italian seasoning

• Pinch of salt

• 1 tbsp butter, melted

• 1 clove garlic, finely minced

• 1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

• Extra shredded cheese (optional, for topping)

Kitchen Equipment Needed

• Microwave-safe mixing bowl

• Rubber spatula or wooden spoon

• Baking sheet

• Parchment paper

• Pastry brush (for butter)

• Measuring cups and spoons

• Knife for slicing

Step-by-Step Instructions

🔥 Step 1: Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and non-stick baking.

🧀 Step 2: Melt the Cheeses

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for 60–90 seconds until fully melted. Stir until smooth and uniform.

Tip: Work quickly once the cheese melts. It becomes more difficult to mix as it cools.

🥚 Step 3: Mix the Dough

Add almond flour, egg, baking powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt to the melted cheese mixture. Stir until it forms a sticky, uniform dough.

Pro Tip: If the dough is too sticky, wet your hands slightly when shaping it.

🍞 Step 4: Shape the Bread

Transfer the dough to your prepared baking sheet. Shape it into a flat oval or rectangle, about ½ inch thick. Don’t worry about perfection—it will bake beautifully.

🧄 Step 5: Add Garlic Butter

Mix the melted butter and minced garlic. Brush it generously over the top of the shaped dough.

🧀 Step 6: Add Optional Cheese Topping

If you’re feeling extra indulgent, sprinkle more shredded mozzarella on top before baking.

⏲️ Step 7: Bake

Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges.

🌿 Step 8: Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh finish. Slice and serve warm.

🧄 For Serious Garlic Lovers:

Storage & Reheating

🧊 How to Store:

Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

🔁 How to Reheat:

Reheat in a toaster oven or conventional oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes to restore crispness. Avoid the microwave—it may soften the bread too much.

❄️ Can You Freeze It?

Yes! Freeze cooled slices in a freezer-safe bag for up to 1 month. Reheat directly from frozen in the oven or air fryer.

Perfect Pairings

Frequently Asked Questions

❓ Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?

Not directly. Coconut flour absorbs more moisture. If substituting, use about ⅓ the amount of almond flour and add another egg.

❓ Is this gluten-free?

Yes! This recipe contains no wheat or gluten ingredients and is naturally gluten-free.

❓ Can I make this dairy-free?

The recipe heavily relies on cheese, so it’s not ideal for dairy-free versions. However, you could experiment with dairy-free cheese alternatives if desired.

❓ Why is my dough too sticky to shape?

Let it cool slightly or wet your hands before handling. Chilling the dough for 10 minutes can also help.
