Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 tablespoon melted butter to coat the dish

Bread

  • 140g fine almond meal (5 ounces)
  • 2 tablespoons finely grated parmesan
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 170g shredded mozzarella, part-skim (6 ounces)
  • 28g cream cheese (1 ounce)
  • 1 large egg, beaten until fluffy

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons warm butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Heat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Coat a 20cm (8-inch) square glass or ceramic dish with melted butter. Alternatively, you can use a 1.5-quart oval dish about 5cm (2 inches) deep.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the almond meal, finely grated parmesan, baking soda, and garlic powder until well mixed.
  3. Melt Cheeses: Place the shredded mozzarella in a microwave-safe bowl and add the cream cheese on top. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then heat for another 40 seconds until fully melted and smooth.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Immediately stir the melted cheese mix, then add the dry mixture and the beaten egg. Use a spatula initially, then knead with your hands quickly while the cheese is warm to achieve a sticky, uniform dough.
  5. Shape and Bake: Spread the dough evenly in the buttered dish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes until the bread is puffy and golden. Begin checking at 15 minutes to avoid over-browning.
  6. Prepare Topping: While baking, mix warm butter with finely chopped garlic and fresh parsley in a small bowl to create the garlic butter topping.
  7. Brush and Cool: Once out of the oven, immediately brush the garlic butter evenly over the hot bread. Allow the bread to rest in the pan for about 5 minutes to firm up before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use fine almond meal for best texture; coarse meal may yield a denser bread.
  • Make sure to work quickly when mixing the dough since the cheese cools and hardens fast.
  • Check on the bread periodically after 15 minutes to prevent burning.
  • Feel free to substitute fresh herbs like basil or oregano in the garlic butter for variation.
  • This bread is best served warm but can be reheated gently to restore softness.
