• Sodium: 400-500mg

Ingredients

• 2 cups (about 8 oz or 225g) shredded mozzarella cheese, low-moisture part-skim recommended
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for flavor)
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder (optional, for flavor)
• Pinch of salt
• Pinch of black pepper
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for topping, optional)
• 1 teaspoon olive oil or melted butter (for brushing, optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This is crucial for easy removal and prevents sticking.
2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and softened cream cheese.
3. Microwave the cheese mixture on high for 60-90 seconds, or until the cheese is fully melted and very pliable. You want it to be molten and easily stirred. Stir it well to combine the mozzarella and cream cheese completely.
4. Crack the two large eggs into the melted cheese mixture. Add the garlic powder, onion powder (if using), salt, and black pepper.
5. Using a sturdy spoon or a rubber spatula, vigorously mix all the ingredients together. It will seem a bit messy at first, but keep mixing until everything is well incorporated and forms a cohesive, somewhat sticky dough. The dough should pull away from the sides of the bowl.
6. Transfer the cheese dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Using wet hands (this prevents sticking) or a piece of parchment paper on top, gently press and spread the dough into a rectangular shape, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick (approximately 8×10 inches). Aim for an even thickness across the entire surface to ensure uniform baking.
7. If desired, brush the top of the dough with olive oil or melted butter. This helps with browning and adds a nice flavor.
8. Sprinkle the sesame seeds evenly over the top of the dough. Gently press them into the dough so they adhere.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-18 minutes, or until the “bread” is golden brown around the edges and lightly golden in the center. The baking time can vary depending on your oven and the thickness of your dough, so keep an eye on it. It should be firm to the touch.
10. Once baked, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the “bread” cool on the parchment paper for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This cooling time is essential as it allows the “bread” to firm up and makes it easier to handle and slice without falling apart.
11. Slice into desired shapes – squares, rectangles, or even strips for dipping. Serve warm and enjoy your amazing no-flour, no-carb bread!

Cooking Tips and Variations

For the best results, always use low-moisture, part-skim mozzarella cheese. High-moisture cheese can release too much water, resulting in a soggy texture. Full-fat mozzarella works too, but might be slightly greasier. Make sure your cream cheese is softened; this helps it melt smoothly into the mozzarella. When mixing the eggs into the hot cheese, work quickly but thoroughly. The heat from the cheese will help “cook” the eggs slightly, binding everything together. If your dough feels too sticky to spread, try wetting your hands with a little water or oil before pressing it out. This trick makes handling the dough much easier. Don’t be afraid to experiment with the thickness; a thinner ‘bread’ will be crispier, while a slightly thicker one will be softer and more pliable, perfect for sandwiches.

The variations for this recipe are endless! For a cheesy herb bread, add 1-2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, or oregano to the dough mixture. A pinch of red pepper flakes can give it a subtle kick. You can also experiment with different cheese blends; try adding a touch of grated Parmesan or sharp cheddar for a more complex flavor profile, though be mindful that some cheeses have higher carb counts. Instead of sesame seeds, consider poppy seeds, everything bagel seasoning, or even dried onion flakes for the topping. For a slightly sweeter take (though still very low carb), you could omit the savory seasonings and add a tiny dash of cinnamon and a sugar substitute, though this is less common for “bread.” You can also cut the cooked bread into smaller pieces and toast them lightly in a pan or toaster oven for extra crispness, creating delicious low-carb crackers or croutons.

Storage and Reheating

To store any leftover No Flour No Carbs Bread, allow it to cool completely to room temperature. Once cool, transfer the slices to an airtight container. You can place parchment paper between layers to prevent them from sticking together. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, this bread freezes surprisingly well. Wrap individual slices or small stacks tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 month.

When reheating, this bread is best enjoyed warm. From the refrigerator, you can reheat slices in a toaster oven for a few minutes until warmed through and slightly crispy, or in a microwave for 15-30 seconds until soft and pliable. Be careful not to overheat in the microwave, as it can become rubbery. If reheating from frozen, it’s best to let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight, then reheat using one of the methods above. Alternatively, you can reheat directly from frozen in a toaster oven or conventional oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes, or until heated through and crisp. Avoid reheating too many times, as the texture can degrade with repeated heating cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this bread without cream cheese?

While cream cheese adds to the pliability and richness of the bread, you can omit it if necessary. The texture might be slightly less flexible, but it will still work. If omitting, ensure your mozzarella is very well melted and mixed with the eggs to create a cohesive dough.

Can I use different types of cheese?

Yes, to some extent! Low-moisture mozzarella is key for the structure and melt. You can experiment by adding a small amount (up to 1/4 cup) of other shredded cheeses like cheddar, provolone, or Monterey Jack for flavor variation. However, using too much of other cheeses might alter the texture, making it less pliable or more oily. Always prioritize mozzarella as the primary cheese.

Why did my bread turn out rubbery or soggy?

Rubbery texture often occurs from overcooking, especially in the microwave during reheating, or if the dough was spread too thin and baked too long. Soggy bread can be a result of using high-moisture mozzarella, not letting the ‘bread’ cool sufficiently before slicing (it needs to firm up), or not baking it long enough to evaporate excess moisture. Ensure even thickness when spreading and monitor baking closely.

Is this bread suitable for sandwiches?

Absolutely! This bread is fantastic for sandwiches. Its pliable texture holds fillings well, and it doesn’t crumble like some other low-carb bread options. It’s particularly great for grilled cheese, breakfast sandwiches, or any sandwich where you want a soft, savory base. Just make sure to let it cool and firm up before assembling your sandwich.
