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.
