Keto Garlic Bread Bombs

INGREDIENT NOTES

Mozzarella Cheese

Mozzarella forms the base of the fathead dough, giving it a stretchy, chewy, bread-like texture. It also helps bind the dough together.
Tip: Use low-moisture, pre-shredded mozzarella for best results.

Cream Cheese

Cream cheese softens the dough, adds slight acidity, and improves smoothness and flexibility.
Tip: Use softened cream cheese before melting to avoid lumps.

Almond Flour

Almond flour keeps this recipe low carb and keto-friendly. It adds structure to the dough without making it heavy.
Tip: Finely milled almond flour works the best.

Eggs

Eggs add moisture, bind the dough, and create a light, airy texture.
Tip: Use room-temperature eggs for easier mixing.

Baking Powder

Baking powder prevents the dough from becoming too dense and helps it rise slightly, keeping the bread bombs soft instead of crunchy.
Tip: Make sure your baking powder is fresh.

FILLING INGREDIENTS

Crab Meat

Crab adds a sweet, delicate seafood flavor that pairs perfectly with shrimp.
Tip: Choose high-quality lump crab meat for the best taste.

Shrimp

Shrimp brings lean protein and a juicy bite. It blends well when chopped small.
Tip: Cook the shrimp first to avoid adding extra moisture to the filling.

Mayonnaise

Mayonnaise creates a creamy base and keeps the filling moist, balancing the seafood richness.

Parmesan Cheese

Freshly grated Parmesan adds a salty punch and enhances the cheesiness while thickening the mixture.

Garlic Powder

Garlic powder provides a strong, classic garlic-bread flavor. It blends evenly and doesn’t burn.

Onion Powder

Adds sweet, savory depth to balance the garlic and Parmesan.

Fresh Parsley

Parsley brings freshness and brightness, cutting through the richness of the cheese and seafood.
Tip: Finely chop it to distribute flavor evenly.

Butter

Melted butter brushed on top gives the bombs a golden, glossy finish and richer taste.

Salt

A small amount of sea salt enhances seafood sweetness and balances the overall flavor.
