AMAZING KETO GARLIC KNOTS

Better than garlic bread, rolls, or breadsticks! These keto garlic knots are the perfect cheesy garlic appetizer for anyone on a low carb or gluten free diet.

These garlic knots are so good that it feels like I’m cheating every time I take a bite. I almost can’t believe they’re keto and low carb.

They smell and taste amazing straight out of the oven — pillowy soft and cheesy, with strong garlic flavors. They look and taste like the real deal. The parmesan cheese and garlic butter toppings take it to the next level.

Serve them as an appetizer for low carb pizza, save them for a snack, or eat them all for dinner. Anything works. Enjoy!

This recipe for cheesy keto garlic bread is the Holy Grail for keto bread  – using mozzarella dough.

Mozzarella dough garlic bread is the best keto garlic bread recipe I have ever made, and the beauty is that it’s only 1.5g net carbs per slice (makes 10 slices).

If you are new here, you may have stumbled upon Fat Head dough recipe. It is sometimes referred to as mozzarella cheese dough.

This famous low-carb dough is known as Fat Head dough becuase of Tom Naughton, the creator of Fat Head, the movie. It’s a comedy-documentary that explains how low cholesterol is unhealthy, saturated fat does not cause heart disease but instead sugars, grains, starches and processed vegetable oils do.

Ingredients

• 6 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese (roughly 1 1/2 cups)
• 3 ounces blanched almond flour (roughly 3/4 cup)
• 2 ounces cream cheese (4 tablespoons)
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• vegetable oil spray

Toppings:

• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon finely grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 F. Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. In a large heatproof bowl, combine all dry ingredients (almond flour, garlic, oregano, baking powder, salt) until well-mixed.
3. Add mozzarella cheese and cream cheese to the same bowl. Microwave for 45 seconds, stir, and microwave for another 45 seconds or until the cheese is melted. Stir until the mixture forms a smooth dough.
4. Add the egg, stirring it in until absorbed and well-mixed. If easier, use your hands to knead once the dough is cool enough to handle.
5. Cut the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a log about 9 inches long, and form into a knot-like shape. Place the knots at least 1 inch apart on the prepared lined baking sheet. Spray the tops with vegetable oil.
6. Bake at 375 F until lightly golden on top, about 15 minutes. Remove the garlic knots from the oven. Set the broiler on high.
7. In a small bowl, add butter and minced garlic. Microwave until melted. Brush the garlic butter over the tops of the garlic knots. Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top.
8. Return the garlic knots to the oven and broil until golden brown on top, about a minute. Serve while hot.
