3 Ingredient Cottage Cheese Breadsticks
These easy cheesy breadsticks are low carb and keto-friendly but you can't even tell they don't contain any wheat flour. The cottage cheese breadstick dough is soft and chewy and made with just 2 ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (183 g) blanched superfine almond flour
- 1 cup (236 g) small curds cottage cheese, 4% milkfat
- 1 cup (98 g) shredded mozzarella cheese, or more as needed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
- Add almond flour and cottage to a large mixing bowl. Stir with a spatula until the cottage cheese is fully incorporated into the almond flour and you have a soft dough. Transfer the dough onto a large sheet of parchment paper. Place a second sheet of parchment paper over the dough and roll the dough out to a rough 9 x 12 inch rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Remove the top layer of parchment paper and transfer the dough with the bottom layer of parchment paper onto a large baking sheet pan.
- Bake the dough for about 25-30 minutes or until the dough is lightly golden on top. You don't want the dough to be fully done yet because it will bake more when the cheese is added.
- Remove the breadsticks dough from the oven and sprinkle shreded cheese evenly across, leaving about a 1/2 inch border around the edges. If you like your breadsticks to be extra cheesy, you can add another 1/2 to 1 cup of cheese (I did about 1 1/2 cups). You can also add other cheeses for more flavor. Place breadsticks back into the oven and bake for about 10 more minutes or until cheese is fully melted and the edges of the breadsticks are golden brown. If desired, garnish with finely chopped parsley. Allow breadsticks to cool slightly before cutting and serving with your favorite dipping sauce. Any uneaten breadsticks should be stored in the fridge.
Notes
- I used 4% milkfat cottage cheese but it should also work with low fat.
- Make sure to use superfine blanched almond flour. I used Kirkland brand (sold at Costco).
- Make sure that your dough is about 1/4 inch thick. If it is rolled out too thin, then the dough will become more like a cracker rather than bread when it is done baking.
- I topped mine with shredded mozzarella cheese but you can change the cheese on top. Sometimes I also add some parmesan cheese for more flavor.
