4.5 from 120 reviews

Keto Fathead Bread is a low-carb, gluten-free bread alternative perfect for those following a ketogenic lifestyle. Made with a simple blend of mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, eggs, and almond flour, this bread is easy to prepare and yields a deliciously chewy texture perfect for sandwiches and snacks.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheese

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese

Dough

  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup almond flour

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cheese mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheeses are fully melted and smooth.
  2. Mix the dough: Add the egg and almond flour to the melted cheese mixture. Stir vigorously until a sticky dough forms, using a spatula or clean hands if necessary to combine thoroughly.
  3. Shape the dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to form an even flatbread shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
  4. Bake: Transfer the rolled dough on the parchment paper to a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (204°C) for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the bread is cooked through.
  5. Cool and serve: Remove from oven and allow the bread to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving as desired.

Notes

  • Ensure the mozzarella cheese is shredded, as it melts more evenly than slices.
  • The almond flour helps provide structure and keeps the bread low-carb.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make rolling easier.
  • You can add herbs or garlic powder to the dough for additional flavor.
  • Store leftover bread wrapped in foil in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
