Ingredients
Bread:
- 1 cup blanched almond flour plus extra for kneading dough
- 3 tablespoons unflavored whey protein powder or coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon xanthan gum optional
- 1-½ cups mozzarella grated, I used 160 grams of Kraft 2%
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup butter melted
Topping:
- 3 tablespoons butter softened
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese grated
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Bread:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, whey protein, coconut flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt and xanthan gum.
- In large bowl, melt mozzarella cheese in microwave (for my 900 watt oven it took about 2 minutes at 40% power)
- Stir eggs, butter, and dry mix into mozzarella until dough forms. If cheese begins to harden, you may need to microwave dough ball 5-10 seconds at high to get all ingredients incorporated into dough. Add additional almond flour as needed if dough is too sticky.
- Place dough ball between two large sheets of parchment paper.
- Using rolling pin, roll dough out to a circle about ¼ inch thick.
- Peel off top piece of parchment paper.
- Place dough (still on parchment paper) onto baking sheet
- Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut dough into stick size pieces.
Topping:
- Mix all topping ingredients together and spread onto sliced dough.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes or until top begins to brown.
- Remove from oven. Serve warm.

Notes
Blanched or unblanched almond flour can be used, but the best results are with using blanched.
