The star menu item in any classic Italian restaurant isn’t just the pizza or tiramisu, but the cheesy garlic breadsticks. Before my keto days, I could easily devour an entire serving of cheesy breadsticks and still have room for more. Cheese and carbs were my weakness!
Since starting keto, I haven’t given up my love for pizza, bread, and cheese. Instead, I’ve found ways to recreate these favorites in a keto-friendly way. Inspired by my fathead pizza crust, I adapted it to make this delicious keto cheese bread. It’s perfect as an appetizer and tastes just like traditional cheesy bread, without the carbs. When I served this at a keto Italian-themed dinner, no one could tell it was low carb—they thought it was from a local pizza shop!

Instructions
- Prepare the Dough:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 20-second increments until melted. Whisk until smooth.
- In a food processor with a dough blade, combine the melted cheese, eggs, almond flour, and baking powder. Blend until a smooth dough forms.
- Shape and Top:
- Transfer the dough onto a parchment paper-lined surface. Place another sheet of parchment paper on top and roll out the dough into a large oval shape.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared baking tray. Sprinkle the top with mozzarella and parmesan cheese, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
- Bake:
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the edges are golden.
- Remove from the oven and slice using a pizza cutter. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Tips for the Best Keto Cheese Bread
- Sticky Dough: Lightly oil your hands to handle the dough more easily.
- Dough Hook: Use a dough hook attachment if your food processor has one for a smoother texture.
- Additional Toppings: Feel free to add toppings like pepperoni, mushrooms, olives, or Italian seasoning.
Storing, Freezing, and Reheating
- To Store: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Ensure there are no air pockets to keep the bread soft.
- To Freeze: Store cooled slices in a ziplock bag and freeze for up to 6 months.
- To Reheat: Microwave for 20-30 seconds or bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes until the cheese is melty.
