When I switched to a ketogenic lifestyle and lost 85 pounds I totally thought that bread would be lost to me. But it’s not! And today I am excited to share my super easy (I promise!) keto breadsticks recipe with y’all!
Traditional bread has ingredients like; wheat flour, high fructose corn syrup, hydrolyzed soy protein, interesterified soybean oil and wheat gluten that are not keto!
The not so secret ingredient in this recipe is cheese, a staple when following a keto diet! Combining mozzarella cheese and almond flour is the key to creating the fathead dough used in this recipe.

How to make keto breadsticks:
Ingredients:
- 1 oz Philadelphia cream cheese, cubed
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp everything bagel seasoning
- 1 egg white or whole egg
This easy recipe makes sixteen breadsticks with one net carbs each.
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine the dry ingredients, almond flour and baking powder in a stand mixer with paddle attachment.
2. Place cream cheese and mozzarella cheese into a microwave safe dish. Microwave on high in 30 second intervals, stirring between, until the cheese is completely melted. This usually takes about 2 minutes.
3. Add the cheese mixture to the stand mixer and combine with the almond flour. Scrape down the sides and remove cheese from the paddle with a rubber spatula if necessary.
4. Add the egg and combine into a soft dough.
5. Place the dough in the refrigerator to cool for 30 minutes.
Tip: Chilling the dough makes it easier to cut and work with.
6. Place the dough ball between two sheets of plastic wrap and use a rolling pin to flatten it into a rectangular shape about 1/4″ thick.
7. Use a pizza cutter or butter knife (the duller, the better) to cut the dough into 1″ x 4″ strips.
8. Twist each strip of dough and place them onto the prepared cookie sheet.
9. In a small bowl, beat the egg / egg white with a fork. Brush the egg over each breadstick. Sprinkle with everyday bagel seasoning.
10. Bake for 10 minutes until the tops of the breadsticks start to turn golden.

Tips for keto cooking:
- Find low carb substitutions for your current favorite recipes. Like cauliflower instead of perogies and radishes instead of potatoes.
- Maintain a healthy balance of protein and fats. Sometimes its hard to get enough fat and/or protein in a ketogenic diet so be sure to include a balance of both in your dishes.
- Plan ahead and use tools like this Meal Planning Printable to reach maximum success.
- Find recipes that you love, like this Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole, Taco Bake and Hamburger Soup, and use them in your weekly rotation.
- Be sure to stock the kitchen with helpful tools like this food scale, these measuring cups and a Kitchen Aid mixer.

Hi Heather! These look great! Can I make them ahead of time and refrigerate til I bake them? Thankyou
I don’t see why not. I wouldn’t expect them to rise much when if refrigerated though. Enjoy!
