Why You’ll Want to Make This Over and Over

• No yeast – No waiting around for it to rise.
• Ridiculously good – Crunchy edges, soft inside, and a cheesy, nutty flavor from the Asiago.
• Keto-friendly – No flour, no sugar, just real food.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Get everything ready first. This makes the process easy and fun.

• 1 ½ cups almond flour (fine, not coarse)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 cups shredded Asiago cheese (divided)
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese (softened)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 large eggs
• 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional but recommended)
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep Everything First

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This keeps the bread from sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.

Now, measure out your ingredients. If your cream cheese and butter are straight from the fridge, pop them in the microwave for about 10 seconds to soften them.

2. Melt the Cheeses

In a microwave-safe bowl, add the mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then microwave for another 20-30 seconds until melted. It should look stretchy and smooth. If it’s lumpy, stir and heat for another few seconds.

If you don’t have a microwave, you can melt the cheeses in a saucepan over low heat. Just keep stirring so they don’t burn.

3. Mix the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the almond flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning together. This helps spread everything evenly, so you don’t get clumps of baking powder in one bite.

Now, pour in the melted cheese mixture. Add the butter and eggs.

Here’s the part where it gets a little sticky—literally. Use a spoon to start mixing, but once it gets too thick, switch to your hands. It will feel strange at first, like warm playdough, but trust me, it comes together. Knead it for about a minute until everything is fully combined.

4. Add the Asiago Cheese

Sprinkle in 1 ½ cups of the shredded Asiago and work it into the dough. This gives the bread that bold, nutty flavor that makes it so good.

5. Shape and Bake

Place the dough on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Shape it into a rectangle or round loaf—whichever you prefer. The dough won’t rise much, so what you see is pretty much what you’ll get.

Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of Asiago cheese on top for extra cheesiness.

Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and firm to the touch. If it looks pale, leave it in for another couple of minutes.

6. Let It Cool (Just a Little!)

This is the hardest part. When it comes out of the oven, it smells incredible, and you’ll want to tear into it right away. But let it sit for 10 minutes first. This helps it set up so it doesn’t fall apart when you cut into it.

How to Serve It

• Warm with butter – Simple and perfect.
• Toasted – Slice it and toast it for an extra crispy edge.
• Dipped in marinara – Because cheese and tomato sauce are always a good idea.
• As a sandwich – Cut it in half and stuff it with turkey, bacon, or whatever you like.

Storage and Reheating Tips

• Fridge: Wrap leftovers in foil or store in an airtight container. It stays fresh for up to 5 days.
• Freezer: Slice and freeze it in a zip-top bag. Just take out a piece and reheat when needed.
• Reheating: Pop it in the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes, or just microwave for 20-30 seconds.

Troubleshooting – If Things Go Wrong

• The dough is too sticky? Add a tablespoon of almond flour at a time until it firms up.
• The bread is too dry? You might have packed the almond flour too tightly. Next time, spoon it into the measuring cup and level it off.
• Not cheesy enough? Add more cheese on top in the last 5 minutes of baking.
