Essential Ingredients for Keto Garlic Bread : A low-carb pleasure that is simply irresistible.

Want a tasty, low-carb alternative to the usual bread? Then this keto cheesy garlic bread is for you. It’s perfect for the ketogenic diet or the low-carb diet, full of flavor, and here’s the interesting bit: making this dish successful depends on a few very essential ingredients. For the complete list of ingredients and exact measurements, be sure to check out the recipe card at the end of the post.

1. Almond Flour: Your Low-Carb Hero
   Almond flour is one of the staple keto baking favorites. It happens to be gluten-free and low in carbs with a light nutty flavor that just goes well with garlic, and the almond flour helps this bread to be soft while keeping your carb intake in check. Use only finely ground almond flour.
2. Cheese: The Creamy Binding Agent
   Cheese just so happens to be an amazing sneaky keto baking ingredient; in this garlic bread, it takes on a double role: it adds depth of flavor and richness in addition to the absolute bliss for the stomach, and instead of gluten, it aids in binding the dough for structure. Mozzarella makes a good substitute, but other keto-friendly cheeses can be really great too if it gets you in the mood for that extra kick of flavor.
3. Eggs: The Binder
   Not only do they help keep everything in shape, but they also give the bread a fluffy, soft texture. They provide structure, moisture, and that powerful punch of protein to make your keto cheese bread light yet filling.
4. Garlic: The Heart of it All
   Of course, what’s garlic bread without garlic? Freshly minced garlic gives this recipe that irresistible garlicky aroma and flavor. You can adjust the amount to suit your taste—but don’t skimp if you’re a garlic lover! For a more mellow flavor, you could even roast the garlic first.
5. Butter: The Rich Flavor Enhancer
   Butter is essential if you are to attain that classic garlic bread flavor. Its creamy richness complements the garlic amazingly, making this bread truly decadent in terms of flavour. Not to forget, it also helps crisp the bread’s edges when baked in. If you can get your hands on grass-fed butter, go for it, as that’s going to get you far more buttery goodness.
6. Herbs and Seasonings: The Finishing Touch
   Top it off with a sprinkle of parsley or Italian herbs for a pop of color and incredible flavoring. Add sea salt and black pepper to taste. I like to add a bit of heat, so a pinch of red pepper flakes isn’t bad either!

These come together for an amazing keto-friendly garlic bread. Ready to get baking? Be sure to check below for the full recipe with measurements and instructions.

Instructions For Baking How To Make Garlic Bread

Making keto homemade garlic bread is easier than you’d think! Below is the full recipe with actual measurements, but first, here’s a quick glance at the basic steps:

Mix Dry Ingredients
Whisk together almond flour, parmesan cheese, baking soda, and garlic powder. This mixture is your dough’s base (see Photo 1).

Melt the Cheeses
Next, melt the mozzarella and cream cheese in the microwave until silky smooth. Stir the cheese mixture into the almond flour mixture and then crack in an egg to bring it all together (Photo 2).

Shape the Dough
With a rubber spatula mix everything together into a dough. Gently knead until well combined, and your dough is ready to be shaped (Photos 3,4).

Press and Bake
Lightly pound the dough onto a greased baking sheet, spreading it out evenly. Pop it into a 350°F oven and bake until puffed and golden brown, about 20 minutes, or Photos 5,6.
Add Garlic Butter Bliss
As soon as the bread comes out of the oven, brush it lavishly with a mixture of melted butter, freshly minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Let it cool a bit for a few minutes before slicing into irresistible pieces (Photos 7,8).

Pro Hacks

While working on the keto garlic bread dough, speed would be essential, mainly while kneading it. The dough would mostly feel sticky and could cool down very fast once cooled off. Don’t worry; this is normal! Always ensure you press your dough when it’s warm and uniform. If it cools before you can press it onto a baking sheet, pop it into the microwave for 10 seconds to soften it up.

The most important ingredient in the recipe: Fresh garlic. I would just advise using fresh, minced garlic for the purpose of this recipe because jarred garlic won’t be sufficient to cut through. Use it for other recipes, but this is one that needs freshly minced garlic cloves. If you do not have fresh garlic at home, wait until you can get some, as the flavour that comes out of this dish cannot be replaced with any other source.

Keto Garlic Bread FAQs

1. Does this keto bread taste like regular bread?
Not exactly. As it doesn’t include wheat or gluten, no low-carb bread is going to taste just like regular bread. Set your expectations appropriately. That being said, this keto garlic bread does have a great, fluffy doughy texture to it. A little heavier than regular bread but great all the same; perfect for that low-carb treat that you are craving.

2. Can I substitute coconut flour with almond flour?
No, not at all. Coconut flour is super absorbent and to get the right consistency, it would need a lot more moisture and eggs than almond flour. It’s certainly not a 1:1 substitute and using it here would result in an extremely dry bread.

3. Can I use baking powder instead of baking soda?
Yes, you can! If you prefer baking powder to baking soda, just use two teaspoons. Also fresh one, and in case you need it gluten-free, check the label.

4. What can I replace with cream cheese?
In fact, you can even use butter or ghee, though sometimes you can even scrape by using sour cream. Just warm it up to room temperature and just adds a bit of smoothness to that melted mozzarella cheese.

How to Store and Reheat Leftovers

Once cooled completely, place leftover keto garlic bread in an airtight container in the fridge where it will keep for 3-4 days. To reheat simply microwave slices at 50% power for about 10 seconds. If using full power just use 5 seconds per slice to avoid over drying.

The best part? When reheated with care, the bread tastes just as fresh when taken from the oven. This bread freezes very well too and is the best for meal prep. Freezing the slices individually, then reheating them as and when needed, makes for a super-convenient and tasty snack!
