How to Make Keto Breadsticks 👩🍳
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix the Dough
In a bowl, combine mozzarella, parmesan, egg, and garlic powder. Mix until fully incorporated.
3. Shape the Breadsticks
Place the mixture onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and flatten it into a thin rectangle or pizza-crust shape.
4. Bake & Broil
Bake for 15 minutes, then switch the oven to broil. Move the baking sheet to the top rack and broil for 1–3 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
5. Slice & Serve
Remove from oven, slice into breadsticks using a pizza cutter, and serve warm. Dip in marinara or enjoy as-is.
Tips & Variations 🔄
- Extra flavor: Mix in a little sharp cheddar with the mozzarella (still 1 cup total cheese).
- Cheese swaps: Any soft grated cheese works well.
- Using grated parmesan: Reduce to about ½ cup, as it’s more dense.
- Crispier texture: Spread the mixture thinner before baking.
Serving Suggestions 🍽️
- Dip in marinara, pizza sauce, or ranch
- Serve with keto soup or salad
- Add pepperoni or olives before baking for a pizza-style twist
