This recipe for Keto garlic bread is the perfect way to start a meal. And luckily for us, each of these low carb rolls has just 5g net carbs.
When you are on a low carb or Keto diet, you get used to refusing the bread.
“Would you ladies like to start with some crusty Italian bread with a garlic and herb butter? My mouth says no, but my brain says, “Yes!! Give me that gaddam garlic bread!!”
Well, I can’t help you turn down those tempting bread baskets, but I can give you a recipe for Keto garlic bread.
This low carb garlic bread is sure to satisfy your bread cravings. The Keto garlic rolls that we are going to make today are made with Fat Head dough, so the net carb count is just 5g.
But what’s…Fat Head dough?
You've probably heard of it before. It's a Keto bread dough made from mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, almond or coconut flour, baking powder and eggs. These ingredients might not sound like they could make bread, but they actually do quite a good impression of it.
Now garlic bread, normal garlic bread, is pretty simple to make.
You just spread garlic butter on bread and toast it. But we are on a low carb diet, so nothing is that easy. So for these Keto garlic bread, we’ll be making our own dough, forming the dough into balls, rolling them in herbs and parmesan cheese, baking them up and then covering them in garlic butter. Sure, it’ll take longer to make, but at the end of it you'll have a pan of delicious garlic bread rolls with only 5g net carbs each.
So the next time the waiter asks if you would like some bread, you’ll calmly say,
“No, just a salad for me.”

- Prep Time: 15
- Cook Time: 30
- Total Time: 45 minutes
- Yield: 20 rolls 1x
- Category: Appetizer
- Method: Baked
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
2 ½ cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
2 oz full fat cream cheese
3 large eggs, beaten
1 ½ cup super fine almond flour
½ cup coconut flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F and grease a small 8 inch cast iron skillet liberally.
2. In a large microwave safe bowl, melt mozzarella and cream cheese in the microwave for 1 minute. Stir to combine. Microwave for another minute and stir again until smooth and fully combined. If it hasn’t completely melted, then cook for another 30 seconds and stir again.
3. Mix together beaten eggs, almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder and salt in a medium sized bowl.
4. Mix dry ingredients into the cheese mixture and mix well until fully combined.
5. Mix together parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning on a shallow plate.
6. Use a cookie scoop to scoop out portions of dough. Roll the dough into 2 inch balls and roll the dough balls in the parmesan cheese until covered on all sides.
7. Arrange the dough balls in the cast iron skillet. You’ll need to make a few a little smaller in order to fit them into the middle of the pan.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Loosely cover with a piece of foil at minute 10 to keep it from browning too much.
9. In a small microwave safe bowl, microwave butter and minced garlic for 2 minutes. Use a spoon to pour the garlic butter over each piece of bread.
10. Best served warm. Can be reheated in the microwave for 30 seconds.

I’m wondering how some lupin flour could be used in this recipe?
EmilyKrill says
It’s possible, but I haven’t tried it, so I don’t know what the flour substation ratio would be.
Becky says
I Made these 8/17/20 - These were very good rolls. I followed the recipe exactly but, I absolutely had to knead this dough by hand, for quite a while, to get everything to combine well. I didn't mind, but it would be helpful to note that in the directions because I've made fat head dough many times but this dough was a much stiffer consistency. Once baked, the bread is VERY dense, but I like that. These had a great flavor and were strangely addictive! I got 12 rolls, 2 oz of dough each so they were good size rolls. I'll definitely make them again. Thanks for a great recipe!

Would it be possible to use all almond flour and no coconut flour?
EmilyKrill says
It would be possible, but I designed the recipe to use both flours, so I don't know what the exact substitution ratio would be.
JarAme says
Made these tonight and mixed roasted garlic into the mix with Italian seasoning and rolled the balls totally in parm, then thickly Coated my cast iron in clarified butter .... it was amazing, I’ve been doing keto for nearly a year and was looking to bing tonight and this with home made marinara .. yup .. worth it ...
EmilyKrill says
Roasted garlic makes everything better. Sounds delish.
Jenna says
Can the dough be refrigerated to bake later?
EmilyKrill says
I don't recommend it. The mozzarella in the dough gets tougher and harder to handle as it cools, so it's best to make up the dough and bake it right afterwards. For the same reason, these garlic rolls are best eaten warm.
Keilah says
I cant get the cheese and dry ingredients to mix in well it just looks like crumbly bits and a white lump
EmilyKrill says
You need to melt the cheese a little more then.
Aleta Grossman says
Do I have to use a cast iron skillet?
EmilyKrill says
No, any smaller baking pan or even a pie pan should work.
EmilyKrill says
