Description

These 3 Ingredient Cottage Cheese Breadsticks are a low-carb, keto-friendly alternative to traditional breadsticks, using almond flour, cottage cheese, and mozzarella. Soft and chewy with a golden cheesy topping, they are perfect as a snack or appetizer and simple to prepare with no wheat flour.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups (183 g) blanched superfine almond flour

Dairy Ingredients

  • 1 cup (236 g) small curds cottage cheese, 4% milkfat
  • 1 cup (98 g) shredded mozzarella cheese, or more as needed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) to prepare for baking the breadsticks.
  2. Make the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour and cottage cheese. Stir thoroughly with a spatula until the cottage cheese is fully incorporated and you achieve a soft dough.
  3. Roll out dough: Transfer the dough onto a large piece of parchment paper. Cover it with a second sheet of parchment paper and roll out into a roughly 9 x 12 inch rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
  4. Transfer to baking sheet: Remove the top parchment sheet carefully, then transfer the dough with the bottom parchment paper onto a large baking sheet.
  5. Bake initial layer: Bake the dough in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until lightly golden on top. The dough should not be fully baked as it will bake further with the cheese topping.
  6. Add cheese topping: Remove the baking sheet and evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the dough, leaving about a 1/2 inch border around the edges. For extra cheesiness, add up to 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese or mix with other cheeses for extra flavor.
  7. Final bake: Return the breadsticks to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and the edges are golden brown.
  8. Cool and serve: Optionally garnish with finely chopped parsley. Allow breadsticks to cool slightly before cutting and serving with your favorite dipping sauce.
  9. Storage: Store any leftover breadsticks in the refrigerator to keep fresh.

Notes

  • Use blanched superfine almond flour for the best texture.
  • You may increase the mozzarella cheese topping to 1 1/2 cups for a cheesier result.
  • Adding other cheeses like parmesan or cheddar can enhance flavor.
  • Allow breadsticks to cool slightly before slicing to prevent crumbling.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat gently before serving.
