Ingredients
  

  • Almond flour: Super-fine works best for a smoother crumb.
  • Mozzarella cheese: Shredded, low-moisture mozzarella for the dough.
  • Cream cheese: Helps bind and soften the dough.
  • Egg: Acts as a binder and adds structure.
  • Baking powder: Gives a bit of lift.
  • Garlic: Freshly minced for maximum flavor.
  • Butter: Salted or unsalted; melted for brushing.
  • Parmesan cheese: Optional, for a savory finish.
  • Italian seasoning: Or a mix of dried oregano and basil.
  • Fresh parsley: Optional, for garnish.
  • Salt and black pepper: To taste.

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven: Set to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Melt the cheeses: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 20–30 second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and stretchy. Alternatively, melt in a small pot over low heat, stirring often.
  3. Mix the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk almond flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning, a pinch of salt, and a few grinds of black pepper.
  4. Make the dough: Add the egg to the melted cheese, stirring quickly to incorporate. Fold in the almond flour mixture until a cohesive dough forms. If it seems sticky, let it rest for 2–3 minutes; it will firm up as it cools.
  5. Shape the bread: Transfer the dough to the parchment-lined sheet. Lightly oil your hands and press into an oval or rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
  6. Par-bake: Bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly set and just starting to color.
  7. Make the garlic butter: While the base bakes, melt the butter and stir in minced garlic and a pinch of salt. For extra flavor, add a tablespoon of grated Parmesan.
  8. Brush and top: Remove the bread from the oven. Brush generously with garlic butter. Sprinkle with a little mozzarella and Parmesan if you like a cheesy top.
  9. Finish baking: Return to the oven for 5–7 minutes, until edges are golden and the top is bubbly.
  10. Garnish and slice: Let it cool for 2 minutes, then sprinkle with chopped parsley. Slice into sticks or wedges and serve warm.
