Keto Garlic Bread transforms the guilt-laden pleasure of traditional garlic bread into a diet-friendly delight, allowing those on a ketogenic lifestyle to indulge in the aromatic, buttery goodness without the carb overload. This culinary creation ingeniously substitutes high-carb ingredients with keto-friendly alternatives, delivering all the flavors and textures you crave in garlic bread, sans the guilt.
At its core, the bread is crafted from a blend of almond flour, coconut flour, and psyllium husk, ingredients celebrated in the keto community for their low carb content and high fiber. This combination not only mimics the texture of traditional bread but also adds a nuanced, nutty flavor that complements the boldness of the garlic perfectly. When baked, it achieves a golden crust on the outside while remaining soft and tender inside, creating an ideal base for the rich, garlicky topping.
The soul of keto garlic bread lies in its topping – a generous slather of butter mixed with crushed garlic, fresh parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese, melded together to form a flavor-packed spread that’s both aromatic and deeply satisfying. This garlic butter mixture is broiled to perfection, resulting in a melt-in-your-mouth topping that’s beautifully golden and bubbling. The heat from the broiler intensifies the fragrance of the garlic and herb, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma that promises the deliciousness to come.
This keto garlic bread isn’t just a treat for the taste buds; it’s a testament to the versatility of keto cooking, proving that dietary restrictions don’t mean sacrificing flavor or texture. Whether served as an appetizer, a side to your favorite keto pasta dish, or simply enjoyed on its own, this garlic bread is sure to satisfy your cravings for something savory and indulgent. The experience of pulling apart a piece, hearing that slight crackle of the crust, and tasting the buttery, garlicky, cheesy goodness is nothing short of heavenly.
Moreover, this version of garlic bread is a testament to the creativity required in keto cooking, inviting you to explore and adapt traditional recipes to fit your lifestyle. It’s a reminder that healthy eating can still be decadent and delicious, blending familiar comforts with new nutritional standards. Enjoying a slice (or two) of keto garlic bread alongside your meal or as a snack is a simple pleasure that fits beautifully within the keto diet, making it a cherished recipe for anyone looking to maintain this lifestyle without giving up on their favorite foods.

INSTRUCTIONS
Free Keto Meal Plan : KETO DIET PLAN FOR BEGINNERS STEP BY STEP GUIDE
Preheat your oven to 400° and line a large baking sheet with Parchment Paper. (Be sure not to use wax paper or aluminum foil, because the Keto Garlic Bread will stick to those while baking)
In a medium mixing bowl add 1 Cup shredded Mozzarella Cheese, 1/2 cup ground Almond Flour, 2 TBSP Cream Cheese, 1 TBSP Granulated Garlic, 1 TSP Baking Powder, and a large pinch of Kosher Salt (or other natural salt of your choice). Microwave on high until the cheeses are melted (~1 minute).
Crack and Stir in 1 Large Free Range Egg. (You can also whisk this before hand if you want it to mix in even easier, so I’ve learned from practice)
Shape dough into a ½ inch thick oval on the parchment paper lined baking sheet.
In a small bowl, melt 1 TBSP Grass-Fed Butter in the microwave. (Be careful not to over boil)
Mix melted butter with 1 clove of minced Garlic, 1 TBPS chopped fresh parsley (if you substitute for dried parsley you will use much less), and 1 TBSP freshly grated Parmesan. Brush mixture over top of bread.
Bake until golden throughout and slightly golden brown on the edges (15 to 17 minutes). Slice into roughly 1 inch wide strips and serve with Rao’s Marinara Sauce or Rao’s Sensitive Marinara Sauce for dipping.
Enjoy!
