Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 ml) shredded mozzarella
- 1 cup (240 ml) shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Optional Toppings:
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- Sprinkle of parsley flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and carefully line a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage to prevent sticking.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, blend shredded mozzarella cheese, grated parmesan cheese, a single large egg, and garlic powder until the ingredients form a smooth, cohesive mixture.
- Spread the cheese mixture evenly across the parchment-lined baking sheet, using a spatula or the back of a spoon to create a thin, uniform pizza crust-like base approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, watching carefully to ensure the edges begin to turn golden and the cheese melts completely.
- Adjust the oven setting to broil and carefully place the baking sheet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, monitoring closely to achieve a rich, crispy golden-brown surface without burning.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cheesy garlic breadsticks to cool for 2-3 minutes, which will help them firm up and become easier to slice and serve.
Notes
- Achieve the perfect low-carb pizza base by using a mozzarella cheese dough that’s both stretchy and crispy.
- Ensure the cheese mixture is thoroughly combined to create a uniform texture and prevent uneven baking.
- Spread the dough as thinly and evenly as possible for a crisp, cracker-like consistency that mimics traditional breadsticks.
- Watch closely during broiling to prevent burning, as the top can quickly go from golden to charred.
- Net carbs are significantly lower compared to traditional breadsticks, making this an ideal keto-friendly alternative.
- Keep extra parchment paper on hand to help manipulate the sticky cheese dough without frustration.
