Garlic bread made without almond flour or coconut flour

These bread rounds are made with a fathead dough that does not contain almond flour. Instead, this recipe uses ground sunflower seed meal for a nut-free and coconut-free alternative. This nut-free flour is an ingredient I use often and one that I highly recommend incorporating into your nut-free keto cooking if you cannot or do not want to eat almond flour.

If you are looking for more ideas for how to use this ingredient in your cooking, I have many recipes that include ground sunflower seed meal that are nut-free and keto-friendly!

• Shredded mozzarella cheese
• Cream cheese
• Ground sunflower seed meal
• Gluten-free baking powder

Recipe FAQs for nut-free keto garlic bread rolls

Before you get started with cooking, I would suggest reading through the answers to these commonly asked questions about this recipe.

What ingredient substitution options are there?

• Ground Sunflower Seed Meal: You can make your own ground sunflower seed meal by pulsing raw sunflower seeds in a blender or food processor until they turn into a flour; just be sure to not over-blend them, otherwise they will turn into sunflower seed butter (similar to peanut butter). If you can eat nuts, almond flour should work fine here at a 1:1 ratio substitution.
• Gluten-Free Baking Powder: You can replace the gluten-free baking powder in this recipe by making your own at home using baking soda and cream of tartar. For the 2 tsp of baking powder this recipe calls for, you will need to use 1/2 tsp baking soda and 1 tsp cream of tartar. Cream of tartar can typically be found at your grocery store with the spices. This substitution will make your recipe grain-free.

Where can I purchase ground sunflower seed meal?

I buy my ground sunflower seed meal off of Amazon (this is the exact brand of sunflower meal that I use), but you can also make your own at home by grinding up raw sunflower seeds in a food processor until they turn into a flour.

How to ensure the garlic breads are round?

Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before transferring to your baking sheet.

Note that the recipe does not call for this instruction as it is not necessary, but if you want to have dough balls that are quite rounded, this suggestion will help.

What diets is this recipe compliant with?

• Keto and Low-Carb: One bread round contains 4.7 grams of net carbs. If you want to lessen the carb content, you can leave off the Garlic Parsley Butter, which will result in each bread round containing 3.3 grams of net carbs per serving.
• Gluten-Free: These nut-free garlic breads do not contain any gluten products.
• Grain-Free: So long as you use baking soda and cream of tartar in place of baking powder (instructions on the exact amounts are listed above as well as in the recipe card), this recipe is grain-free.
• Nut-Free: This recipe does not contain almond flour or any other nut-based flour.
• Coconut-Free: No coconut products are used in this recipe.
• Refined Sugar-Free: This keto bread recipe is made without sugar or sweeteners.

How many net carbs per serving?

Each bread round contains 4.7 grams of net carbs. This recipe yields 10 servings in total. One bread round is equivalent to one serving.

If you want to lessen the carb content per serving, you can exclude the Garlic Parsley Butter, which will yield 3.3 grams of net carbs per serving.

What should I serve with these?

• Italian Meatballs

How should they be stored after baking?

These garlic breads are best enjoyed fresh from the oven when they’re hot, but they can, however, be stored to eat later.

Refrigerator Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Note that the texture after storing may change slightly, but they will still taste delicious!

Reheating Instructions: Reheat in the oven at 400 degrees until warmed throughout, about 8-10 minutes, depending on how chilled they were from the refrigerator.

How to make these nut-free keto garlic bread rounds

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line baking sheet with parchment paper.

Garlic Bread Rounds: To a microwave-safe bowl, add shredded mozzarella and cream cheese.

Transfer bowl to microwave and microwave on high for 1 minute. Remove from microwave and mix with a rubber spatula. Return bowl to microwave and microwave for additional 30 seconds before mixing again.

Whisk together dry ingredients then add them to the bowl of melted mozzarella and cream cheese. Using a fork or your hands, mix until well-combined. Add egg and, using a fork or your hands, mix again until a dough is formed.

Wetting your hands with water often to avoid dough sticking, form dough into 6 equal-sized balls. Place each atop the prepared baking sheet. Transfer baking sheet to oven and bake until bread is golden brown on top, about 12-15 minutes.

Parsley Garlic Butter: While bread bakes, prepare garlic butter. In a pan over medium heat, melt butter. Once melted, add garlic and heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Remove pan from heat and stir in chopped parsley.

Final Steps: Brush butter atop baked garlic bread and serve.
