Instructions
Mozzarella bread
- Preheat the oven to 430Ā°F (220Ā°C) and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
- Place the mozzarella and cream cheese in a medium, microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 1 minute. Remove and stir. Repeat in 30-second bursts until the cheese has melted and can be easily combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour and baking powder, until well combined. Add the eggs, vinegar and almond flour mix, to the melted cheese. Mix well until a smooth dough forms. Kneading it on a non-stick surface, helps with this process! Also, if the mixture is not combining, microwave the mixture for 30 seconds. Continue microwaving/kneading until the mixture becomes a pliable dough.
- Roll the dough into a long "sausage shape", about 2 inch thick. Divide the dough into as many parts as portions in the recipe, and form into bun shapes. Place on your lined baking tray in the shape of a tree.
- Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
Garlic butter
- Melt the butter and add the garlic.
- Brush the newly baked bread with the garlic butter. Sprinkle with sea salt and parsley.
- The bread hardens when it get cold so it's best served warm.
Only for water you can be sure that 1 liter is the same as 1000 grams. Most other foods have different volume compared to weight!
Best,

It may lose some of it's ability to be molded into the ball shape as the mozzarella solidifies back up. You may be better off to finish it, bake it and then refrigerate and reheat when ready to serve.

I made it in a round glass convection oven in my garage as today was so hot where I live.
Almond flour is quite expensive in Australia, also mozzarella cheese, so If I had made the recipe as it was it would cost over $20.
I didn't want to risk that much money so made a 1/4 recipe which made 5 good sized rolls.
As often happens with DD breads when I bake, they are underdone on the bottom. These were no different so I flipped them over for an extra 5 minutes.
I usually make a fruit decorated pavlova as a Christmas 'take to' but this Christmas tree shape or a wreath shape would be an eye popper,
so I could justify the expense. I added some garlic powder and dried parsley to the top before I baked the rolls.
I can thoroughly recommend this recipe.. Please don't ask any questions- I have provided all the information that I can.
You can use a heavy bottom pan on the stovetop with low heat.
The recipe makes 17 servings. If you make 17 buns, then it is 3g per bun/serving.

Hope it works!
Only thing I would change is the amount of garlic in the butter.
Will certainly repeat this in future.
It can be hard to say. You may wish to check the expiration date on your baking powder.
Great tip, Julie! Thanks for sharing!
That's a great review! Thank you for taking the time to let us know!

I only made a half batch. There was too much liquid in the fresh mozzarella log I got from Costco so I couldn't knead it. Instead, I poured it into parchment paper and smoothed it into a uniformly thick oval. I baked it 15 min at 430Ā°. Then turned it over, covered with foil so it didn't brown to much (it almost did). I'd suggest cooking 10 min then flipping, covering with foil and cooking 7-10 min more.
I brushed melted butter with garlic powder, sea salt, and dried parsley in it after it was done then cut it into 16 slices. 1 serving= 2 slices.
