Low carb cheese bread

Certainly! Here’s a simple recipe for low-carb cheese bread that you can try. This recipe uses almond flour as a substitute for traditional flour to keep the carb content low while maintaining a delicious cheesy flavor.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (low-moisture, part-skim)
• 2 oz cream cheese
• 3 large eggs
• Optional: 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried herbs (such as oregano or thyme), for added flavor

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheeses are melted and well combined. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the almond flour, baking powder, and salt together. If you’re using optional seasonings like garlic powder or dried herbs, add them to the dry mixture.
4. Beat 2 of the eggs into the dry mixture until a crumbly dough forms.
5. Pour the melted cheese mixture into the dough and mix thoroughly until it becomes a uniform dough.
6. Divide the dough into equal portions and shape them into bread-like forms on the prepared baking sheet. You can make rolls or a loaf shape, as you prefer.

1. Beat the remaining egg and brush it over the top of the shaped dough. This will give the bread a nice golden color when baked.
2. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and firm to the touch.
3. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
4. Enjoy your low-carb cheese bread as a snack, side dish, or even as a base for making sandwiches.
