  2. 2

    Stir well, then microwave again for 30 seconds.

  3. 3

    Stir with a fork until the mixture forms a cheese ball resembling dough.

  4. 4

    Mix all dry ingredients together in a separate bowl.

  5. 5

    Add the cheese ball to the dry ingredients and fold gently to combine, preserving cheese fibers.

  6. 6

    Shape the dough into a loaf or round.

Tips

Tip 1

Do not slice while warm; cheese needs time to cool and firm up for proper bread consistency.

Tip 2

Fold gently to avoid breaking cheese fibers and losing structure.

Tip 3

Serve with olive oil for dipping, butter, pate, or keto-friendly spreads.

Good to Know

Storage

Airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days, or refrigerated up to 5 days.

Make Ahead

Dough can be shaped and refrigerated up to 24 hours before baking.

Serve With

Slice and serve at room temperature or lightly toasted. Pairs well with olive oil, butter, or keto spreads.

Common Mistakes

Watch

Do not skip the cooling step; warm cheese will crumble when cut.

Watch

Do not overmix; excessive stirring breaks cheese strands and weakens structure.

Watch

Do not use pre-shredded mozzarella with cellulose coating; use block cheese shredded fresh for better melting.
