Low Carb Garlic Bread Sticks ~ Fluffy Fathead Version
These fluffy bread sticks can be made in a flash and taste terrific with soup, salad and low carb marinara dishes. They are soft and pretty damn close to the Olive Garden style breadsticks that you love. Keep them in the fridge for 4-5 days if you have any leftover.
1 1/2tbspgrated Parmesan cheeseThe kind in the green can is good for this recipe. Save the fancy shredded cheese for other dishes.* optional
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix all dry ingredients in a seperate bowl together. Almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, garlic powder and onion powder. Set aside.
Add mozzarella and cream cheese to a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover the cream cheese with mozzarella (this will prevent the cream cheese from overheating and exploding in your microwave). Melt in the microwave for one minute or until fully melted. Stir together until incorporated.
Allow cheese dough to cool until you can handle it. It still needs to be warm enough to be able to mix with the dry ingredients.
Add cheese, 2 eggs and almond flour mixture together and knead by (latex gloved covered) hand until you have a uniform dough. OR use a food processor with dough blade attachment. Pulse on high speed until the dough is uniform. The dough will be sticky, which is normal.
Scoop out dough with oiled or gloved hands and make sure it is uniform. It will still be a bit sticky but it should be maleable.
Divide dough into 8 parts and roll by hand into 5 inch bread skticks.
Add the final egg to a small bowl and whisk. Generously brush the surface of rolls with egg wash.
Bake rolls for about 15 minutes in the middle rack of your oven, or until just just starting to brown.
Remove and quickly brush with butter and sprinkle on parmesan if using. Don't keep them out of the oven very long.
Place breadsticks back into the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the bread is a golden brown.
You can serve plain or with low carb marinara sauce.
Store up to five days in the fridge.
