One of my favorite pre-keto foods was sandwiches, and while mug bread and a plain loaf of keto bread can do the trick, this Keto Garlic Bread will take your sandwiches to the next level! Filled with freshly minced garlic and shredded asiago cheese, this is perfect side dish to meal prep for meals and snacks all week.
What Makes The Perfect Keto Garlic Cheese Bread?
From all our experimentation with baked goods we’ve come to find that the combination of almond flour and coconut flour achieves that best baked good, whether it be a dessert or a loaf of bread. For this keto garlic bread in particular we also added some golden flax seed meal, which gives it a toasted look and taste, but also cuts through any potential eggy-ness.
Make Your Keto Bread Less Eggy
From working with all types of low carb flours to making hundreds of failed loaves of keto bread, we’ve been able to find two fool proof methods of cutting through any eggy texture when making your bread.
- Add a 3-5 drops of liquid stevia: you don’t want so much that a savory bread turns sweet, but just enough to cut through any eggy texture.
- Add 1/4 tsp of apple cider vinegar: it may not seem like a lot, but apple cider vinegar can is very strong in flavor so a little will go a long way.
In this recipe we used both methods to ensure that the only taste is garlic and asiago cheese and the only texture is comparable to a traditional moist and dense bread loaf.
Baking With Almond Flour
Almond flour is one ingredient we always keep stocked in our kitchen. It’s not only the most commonly used flour in low carb baking, but it’s versatile in what it can be used to make! We’ve made chocolate chip cookies, keto cookie dough, and our foolproof low carb pie crust using it. It’s one of our preferred flours because baked goods come out perfect every time. You can also use it as breading for savory dishes like our chicken tenders. Pro Tip: For long term storage, seal the almond flour it in an air tight zip top bag and refrigerate to preserve freshness!
Make Some Easy Keto Garlic Bread
Roasted garlic and melted cheese in a toasted loaf of bread makes the perfect any time snack. Spread it with butter, dip it in olive oil or toast it up and serve it with a charcuterie board. You can’t go wrong. What makes this loaf the best is the use of golden flax meal. It gives the bread a hint of toasted and nutty flavor, and makes it a little more dense and ‘bread like’ than our original “best keto bread”.
Keto Garlic Bread
If the combination of roasted garlic and asiago cheese doesn’t win you over, I’m not sure what will. This loaf of bread rises giving you perfect slices for buttered toast and eggs in the morning, for a hearty lunch sandwich or for an after school snack for your kids.

Padma says
Just made this Keto Garlic Bread and wow — really good.
Margaret says
Can this be made with coconut flour only? I’m reacting to almonds at present.
Miranda (KetoConnect) says
It wouldn’t be a 1:1 substitution – the 2 flours absorb very differently. We do have a coconut flour bread recipe, and you could experiment with adding asiago and garlic! Keto Coconut Flour Bread | 1g Carbs
Carrie says
Making this recipe for the 3rd time. I like it plain, w/butter, as a grilled sandwich. Thx!
monica hayden says
i have tried several different recipes but this one sound good! can’t wait to try it. love your recipes.
Miranda (KetoConnect) says
Thanks! Let us know what you think!
Dawn says
I can’t wait to try this!!!
I am going to roast a head of garlic first and try making it that way.
I like the deeper, rich more subtle flavor better. Also it becomes like a paste and no need to chop or slice.
Cecilia says
Can this recipe be tweaked to remove the eggs? I am allergic to eggs (I get hives when I eat them). Hopefully there’s a way to do this.
Sarah says
I followed your recipe to a T but my bread didn’t rise much at all. Is that normal? It’s delicious btw!
Maryam says
Just tried this with Parmesan cheese and it was sooo yummy. My only major problem is that I want to eat more than 1 slice and each one is 3 net carbs lol. Very delicious recipe.
Laura Taylor says
I sliced it into 20 so the carb damage is lessened, but it’s so delicate it makes it hard to eat without falling apart, i think that’s why they cut it into 12
Jen says
I tried this without garlic and cheese to see if this could be a go to customizeable bread….love it. Texture is lovely and looks nice too. Thank your for making avo toast possible again! I’ll def do the garlic and cheese version next. Maybe add some chopped olives? MMMmm. Mine did not rise much, but could have been not so fresh baking soda. Wondering if I could add baking powder for additional rise?
Laura Taylor says
I don’t think this recipe rises, I’d love to know if there’s something that can be done to fix this as my sandwiches are teeeeny tiny
Laura Taylor says
what do you think it would turn out like without the cheese?
Laura Taylor says
I made it! I made it with the cheese, but I only used 2 cloves of garlic as I didn’t want the bread taste to overpower my sandwiches. The taste and texture are very good! However the bread is so delicate it breaks when you move it and disintegrates when you eat it, plus it doesn’t rise much at all so you’re left with teeny tiny slices. oh well! still very good
DiAnn Fugere says
I can’t wait to try this…..
Sidney McLaughlin says
Stevia tastes very bitter to me. Can I substitute Equal or Splenda?
Miranda (KetoConnect) says
You can always experiment and use the sweetener of your choice.
Marjorie Wehr says
I used 1/4 tsp. allulose maple syrup.
Sunanda says
Is there any other cheese we can use instead of Asiago? Maybe parmesan?
Miranda (KetoConnect) says
Yes, feel free to experiment!
Michael Green says
Is there a sub for coconut flour? We are allergic to coconut in any form. Thank you.
Miranda (KetoConnect) says
Since coconut flour is so absorbent, there isn’t a 1:1 sub but you could experiment with ratios using only almond flour.
Margaret Harvey says
I make regular Keto white bread,but going to try the garlic bread. Thank you for sharing the recipes.
Tasia says
Mine is in the oven right now but I used Parmesan cheese instead of Asiago because that’s what I had on hand. I can’t wait to taste the outcome.
Tessa Tuason says
What can I sub for Asiago cheese? Can you please give the measurements in grams? Tnx. Love you guys! ?
Miranda (KetoConnect) says
Hi, you can experiment with whatever cheese you prefer but it may change the texture of the bread.
Cassandra says
Hey guys been following you guys for about a month and love you guys!! Do I need the husk powder in order to make this and also is the flaxseed meal necessary too?!?!
Miranda (KetoConnect) says
You can try without, but I have no idea how it might turn out!
Kim says
Thank you sooo much!! I miss bread & usually go
off keto to enjoy bread… gluten issues as well so this
is great !! ??
Mandy says
Wish I could have the recipe in grams instead of cups, much more accurate
Frank says
Yes, please in metrical measurements, since we don’t know what a cup is. Can’t wait to try it out!
Lynard Burt says
Google can help you with that, chart conversion chart available on pintrest
Denise says
I agree. I’ve made this twice and it came out different and more dense the second time even though the flours were “fluffed” and measurements “scooped”. Will weigh my own in grams and make notes. Good flavour with the added golden flax meal. Used Bob’s Red Mill.
John says
The internet can help you convert it. You couldn’t figure that out???
Melissa says
I think they are just requesting exactly how many grams they used (maybe it was a tightly packed cup, maybe it wasn’t), so they can yield the same great results. They don’t actually need the amount of grams in a cup.
Nanabella says
If you research cups to grams, you can find conversion sites that will do the math for you…
