Low Carb 3-Ingredient Fathead Dough Cheesy Breadsticks

These Low Carb 3-Ingredient Fathead Dough Cheesy Breadsticks bake into a golden slab with crisp edges and a chewy center. Melted mozzarella forms the base of the dough, while almond flour and an egg give it enough structure to press flat and slice into strips.

How to Mix Fathead Dough

Melt the shredded mozzarella in short microwave bursts, stirring between each. Stir in the almond flour, then mix in the egg while the cheese is still pliable. If a few streaks remain, knead the mixture briefly by hand once it’s cool enough to handle.

How to Shape and Slice the Breadsticks

Press the dough into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick. If it sticks to your hands, lay a second sheet of parchment over it and press it flat, then peel off the top sheet before baking. Let the baked slab cool for 2 to 3 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with marinara for dipping, if desired.
