Ingredients
1 1/2cupalmond flour
1tbspBaking powder
2 1/2cupshredded Mozzarella cheese
2Tbsp Cream cheese(scoop it when soft)
2large Egg(beaten)
7gactive dry or instant dry yeast(optional but highly recommended)
Sesame seeds(optional)
1Tbsperythritol(optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400ºF
Mix dry ingredients ( almond flour, yeast, erythritol, and baking powder) together and set aside
Put the cream cheese, and shredded Mozzarella cheese in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 seconds iintervals until cheese is evenly melted. Remember to stir in between ( helps to distribute the heat. ) it usually takes me about 1 min 30 secs in total sometimes 2 mins.
Pour dry ingredients into the microwaved cheese mix the and mix with your hands or with a spatula then add the cold eggs. Mix till a ball of dough forms
Transfer to a loaf pan lined with parchment
Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if using. Then bake in the oven for 12 to 15 mins or until the top is golden brown
Bring out of the oven, allow to cool and enjoy.
Notes
The dough can be sticky to handle, it will help is your hands are wet. If you find the dough isn't mixing well and is stringy because the cheese has cooled down a bit you can pop dough back into the microwave for 10 secs.
If dough seems too wet, add 2 Tablespoon extra of almond flour or coconut flour. this would help to stabilize the bread because if the dough is too soft, it will rise but may fall post bake.
Wet your hands and continue to mix. If after you wet your hands the dough is still difficult to handle, consider chilling the dough a bit in the refrigerator.
To be sure your bread is fully cooked, stick a skewer in the center. If it comes out clean then you are good to go. If it's sticky, bake for 3 more minutes making a total of 18 mins.
