Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups Mozzarella, shredded
- 2 oz cream cheese
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour (super-fine)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/3 cup cooked bacon bits
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
The garlic butter sauce:
- 1/4 cup browned butter
- 4 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Directions:
- Grease a medium cast iron skillet with oil, butter or cooking spray and set aside. In a shallow plate, combine parmesan and Italian seasoning.
- Melt Mozzarella and cream cheese in a large bowl for one minute in the microwave. Mix well with a spatula until smooth.
- Combine the melted cheese, eggs, baking powder, almond flour and bacon. Mix until smooth.
- Let the dough rise: With well-floured hands, shape the dough into a ball and lightly coat with virgin olive oil. Put it in a large bowl, top the bowl with plastic wrap and set it in a sunny spot to rise to double its size.
- Quarter the dough and flatten into rectangles: When the dough has doubled in size, cut it into fourths.
- Set out 2 large baking sheet and line them with a silicone liner or parchment paper (spray parchment paper with some baking spray).
- Working with one piece at a time, flatten into rough 4×5-inch rectangles.
- Slice the dough rectangles into strips: Using a sharp knife or pizza wheel, slice each dough rectangle into 4 long strips (1 x 5-inches).
- Cut these strips in half in the middle. You should now have 8 (1 x 2.5-inch) strips.
- Form knots: Take one piece at a time and work it into the shape of a snake. Then tie it in a knot.
- Remove the cast iron skillet from the refrigerator. Bake the knots bread for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown.
- Brush generously the baked Keto Butter Knots Bread with Garlic and serve.
