INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTION:
PARMESAN CHEESE:
- It helps to make dough and provides a strong flavor to the breadsticks. Utilize pecorino romano or asiago; both are good keto replacements.
CAULIFLOWER RICE:
- Cauliflower substitutes the regular flour while maintaining a low-carb count. Use frozen or fresh cauliflower rice; both work properly. Always squeeze out all the water content to prevent breadsticks from sticking.
EGG:
- This ingredient helps to combine all the components to form a mixture. Don’t omit it. We don’t suggest using flax eggs.
MOZZARELLA CHEESE:
- It gives a body and stretch. For a good texture, use high-fat mozzarella. You can use already-shredded cheese, but fresh shredded cheese melts easily.
