Ingredients
Scale
- 100 g grated mozzarella
- 80 g freshly grated parmesan
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 2 garlic cloves
- Freshly chopped herbs (e.g., parsley, chives, or oregano for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 220 °C (about 10 minutes). This is important for even crispiness of the bread.
- Prepare garlic: Peel the 2 garlic cloves and chop them very finely or press them through a garlic press (about 2 minutes). Make sure the garlic is not too coarse so it distributes evenly.
- Mix dough: In a bowl, combine the grated mozzarella, freshly grated parmesan, the 2 eggs, almond flour, and prepared garlic. Mix everything thoroughly into a uniform dough (about 3 minutes). The dough should hold together well but not be too sticky.
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (about 2 minutes). The parchment paper prevents the bread from sticking and makes cleanup easier.
- Shape dough: Spread the dough on the baking sheet into a round or oval shape, about 5 mm thick (about 3 minutes). Ensure the shape is even for uniform baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet on the middle rack of your oven and bake the bread for about 15 minutes until it looks golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on it while baking to ensure it doesn't burn.
- Finish: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool slightly (about 5 minutes). Sprinkle it evenly with freshly chopped herbs for added flavor.
- Serve: Cut the garlic bread into pieces and serve warm, ideally as a snack or side dish to your favorite meals (enjoy immediately!).
