Description

A festive low carb wreath-shaped bread made from almond flour and cheese-based dough. Perfect as a holiday centerpiece, appetizer, or savory pull-apart bread with a golden crust and flavorful herbs.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Dairy Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 oz cream cheese
  • 2 tbsp melted butter

Others

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp chopped rosemary or sage (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to fully preheat so the wreath bread can bake evenly.
  2. Melt Cheeses: In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, melt the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese together until you achieve a smooth, uniform mixture without lumps.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt, stirring well to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
  4. Add Eggs and Combine: Add the eggs to the dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated.
  5. Form Dough: Pour the melted cheese mixture into the almond flour and eggs mix, stirring continuously until a dough forms that holds together and is easy to shape.
  6. Shape Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface (using almond flour). Roll it into a long rope roughly 18-24 inches in length, then shape it into a wreath or braid before joining the ends firmly into a circle.
  7. Prepare for Baking: Place the shaped dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the entire surface with melted butter, and sprinkle chopped rosemary or sage on top if using.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes or until the wreath turns golden brown and is cooked through.

Notes

  • Feel free to fill the wreath bread with cheeses, sautéed spinach, or garlic butter before baking for variations.
  • Decorate with fresh herbs, nuts, or seeds to enhance the holiday presentation.
  • This bread is excellent for slicing and serving with dips or as a festive appetizer.
