Directions to Make Keto Garlic Bread
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
- Melt the Cheese: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the cheeses are melted and well combined.
- Mix Ingredients: Add the melted cheese mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix well until a dough forms. Add the eggs and continue to mix until fully incorporated.
- Shape the Dough: Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. Shape it into a rectangular or oval loaf, about 1 inch thick.
- Bake the Bread: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Add Garlic Butter: Remove the bread from the oven. Brush the melted butter over the top and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
- Serve: Allow the bread to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

How to Store Leftovers
If you have any leftovers (which is rare!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the slices in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, or until warm and crispy.
