Ingredients for Keto Cheese Bread
- Almond Flour - Finely ground is the best for keto low-carb baking. Note that almond flour is not the same as almond meal.
- Oat Fiber - This ingredient absorbs liquid, adds a delicate texture, and has zero net carbs. I like it because it doesn't have a strong flavor like coconut flour.
- Mozzarella - I recommend grating your own to avoid additives that can add carbs.
- Cream Cheese - Make sure to choose full fat. Low-fat versions have added sugars to make them taste good.
- Parmesan - The final touch on our cheesy keto bread.
- Baking Powder - This will help the dough rise for soft and fluffy breadsticks.
- Xanthan Gum - While this ingredient is optional, I recommend using it for giving keto garlic breadsticks the best texture.
- Eggs - In keto recipes, eggs help bind the dough. I use large eggs.
- Garlic powder - Powdered works better than fresh for this garlic cheese bread dough.
Keto Garlic Cheese Bread Tips, Tricks, and Variations
- Add 2 teaspoons of Italian Seasoning if you want to add a little more flavor to your dough.
- A stand mixer or food processor works best for mixing the dough. Both work well, although I think the food processor is a little easier. I recommend using the dough blade for either one. You can mix this dough by hand if necessary, but it isn't easy.
- If you don't have parchment paper, two silicone mats work. Just make sure to line your baking sheet with one or the other since the dough is very sticky.
- To use this recipe as a pizza crust, bake until golden without adding the Parmesan. Then, add your favorite pizza toppings and place it back in the oven to melt the cheese.
- To make the breadsticks easy to pull apart, use a pizza cutter and cut them before adding the cheese and baking.
What Can You Serve with Low Carb Breadsticks?

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, I recommend refrigerating this keto cheesy bread recipe.
I don't recommend it. While it is perfectly safe to eat, I have found it near impossible to get the dough to reach the same texture as it does with fresh.
These do freeze quite well. The texture is not quite as well as it is when they are fresh, but they are still good.
How to Make Keto Cheese Breadsticks
Preheat the oven to 400° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or two silicone mats.
In the bowl of a food processor or stand mixer, stir together the almond flour, oat fiber, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Alternatively, you could combine them in a large bowl.
Place a glass or metal bowl on top of a pot of water. Add the cream cheese and 2½ cups of mozzarella cheese to the bowl.
Set the heat to medium and cook until the cheese is melted, stirring often.
Alternatively, you can microwave the cheeses in 45-second intervals, stirring between each one, until melted.
Beat the eggs, then add the eggs and melted cheese mixture to the almond flour mixture.
Process or beat to combine. If kneading by hand, keep in mind that the dough will be sticky, and you will need to knead quickly before the dough becomes hard. Make sure the mixture is thoroughly combined.
Roll the dough out between two pieces of parchment paper until it is about a ½ inch thick. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 4 minutes.
Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, then bake for another 6 to 8 minutes until melted and bubbly.
