This keto cheesy bread is more like the cheesy bread you’d get from a pizza restaurant than traditional breadsticks — soft in the middle, slightly crisp on the edges, and loaded with melty cheese and garlic flavor. It’s easy to make, low carb, and perfect for dipping in marinara or ranch on busy nights.
This keto cheesy bread is perfect for dipping, especially alongside my Easy Homemade Spaghetti Sauce for a classic, low-carb comfort meal.
Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- ½ tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1–2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
Optional Topping
- Extra mozzarella cheese
- Grated parmesan
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place mozzarella cheese in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 60–90 seconds, until melted and stretchy.
- While the cheese is warm, add:
- Almond flour
- Beaten egg
- Melted butter
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Italian seasoning
- Garlic powder
- Grated parmesan
- Mix well until a thick dough forms. The dough will be sticky but moldable.
- Transfer dough to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Place a second piece of parchment on top and gently press the dough into a flat rectangle, about ½ inch thick.
- If desired, sprinkle with extra mozzarella and parmesan.
- Bake for 13–15 minutes, until set and lightly golden on the edges.
After Baking (Highly Recommended)
While the cheesy bread is still hot:
- Brush with 1 tbsp melted butter
- Sprinkle lightly with:
- Pinch of garlic powder
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of Italian seasoning or dried parsley
Let cool slightly, then slice or pull apart and serve.

Baking Tips for Best Results
- Beat the egg first before mixing — this helps prevent an eggy texture.
- For cleaner slices, lightly score the dough into squares or strips before baking.
- Use low-moisture mozzarella for best texture and less excess moisture.
- Let the bread cool for 5 minutes before cutting — it firms up as it sets.
