Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup of almond flour. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, crack open 2 large eggs and whisk them until they are fully beaten. Add the eggs to the cheese and almond flour mixture.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and salt to taste into the mixture. Stir everything together until a dough forms. The mixture should be thick and slightly sticky.
- Fold in 1/2 cup of crumbled, cooked bacon into the dough, ensuring that the bacon is evenly distributed throughout.
- Transfer the dough into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully lift it out using the parchment paper or turn it onto a cooling rack.
- Allow the Keto Cheese Bacon Bread to cool for an additional 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your delicious low-carb treat!
Tips
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for freshly cooked bacon and high-quality mozzarella cheese. Fresh ingredients make a noticeable difference in taste!
- Don’t Overmix: When combining your ingredients, be careful not to overmix the dough. A gentle fold is all you need to keep the texture light and fluffy.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on your bread as it bakes. The top should be golden brown, and a toothpick should come out clean when inserted into the center.
- Experiment with Add-ins: Feel free to customize your Keto Cheese Bacon Bread by adding herbs, spices, or even jalapeños for a spicy kick. The possibilities are endless!
- Store Properly: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. You can reheat slices in the microwave or oven for a quick and tasty snack.
- Serve Warm: This bread is best enjoyed warm, so consider serving it fresh out of the oven or reheating before serving for that gooey, cheesy goodness.
