Mozzarella bread

Servings: 17

Calories: 388 / Fat: 32g / Protein: 19g / Total Carbs: 6g / Net Carbs: 3g

INGREDIENTS

• 900g mozzarella cheese
• 110g / 4 oz. cream cheese
• 4 cups (450g) almond flour
• 2 tbsp baking powder
• 2 tbsp white vinegar
• 4 eggs
  

Garlic butter:

• 55g / 2 oz. butter
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 2 tsp sea salt
  

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 430°F / 220°C and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Place the mozzarella and cream cheese in a medium, microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 1 minute. Remove and stir. Repeat in 30-second bursts until the cheese has melted and can be easily combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the almond flour and baking powder, until well combined. Add the eggs, vinegar, and almond flour mix to the melted cheese. Mix until a smooth dough forms. Kneading it on a non-stick surface helps with this process! Also, if the mixture is not combining, microwave the mixture for 30 seconds. Continue microwaving/kneading until the mixture becomes a pliable dough.
4. Roll the dough into a long "sausage shape," about 2 inches thick. Divide the dough into as many parts as portions in the recipe, and form into bun shapes. Place on your lined baking tray in the shape of a tree.
5. Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
   

Garlic butter:

1. Melt the butter and add the garlic.
2. Brush the newly baked bread with the garlic butter. Sprinkle with sea salt and parsley.
3. The bread hardens when it gets cold, so it's best served warm.
