Low calorie cheesy garlic bread
So, you're on a weight loss journey but craving the cheesy comfort of garlic bread? This low calorie cheesy garlic bread recipe is exactly what you need! It has just 5 ingredients and comes together in under 30 minutes!
Ingredients
Crust:
- 75 g self-raising flour* plus an extra 5g for rolling out
- 70 g fat-free greek yogurt
- 1 tsp olive oil
Garlic sauce:
- 50 g Philadelphia lightest*
- 2-3 cloves freshly grated garlic
- ½ tsp dried parsley
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Toppings:
- 30 g light/reduced fat cheese
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 200ºC.
- Make the crust by combining the flour, yogurt and olive oil. Fold until it starts to form a dough. I would recommend going in with your hands at this point to form it into a circle.
- Transfer the dough to a flat surface, sprinkle with a little flour and roll out to form a rectangle. If you want a thinner crust, roll out the dough into as big a rectangle as you can without the dough tearing. For a thicker crust, roll it out until your desired thickness. Transfer the rolled out dough onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, freshly grated garlic and seasonings. Mix until well combined.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture onto the crust. Top with the shredded cheese and bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Cool for a few minutes on the baking tray, slice and enjoy!
Notes
*Self-raising flour – Sub the same amount of all-purpose or plain flour with the addition of 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/8 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp baking soda.
*Philadelphia lightest - can be subbed for an equal amount of low-fat cream cheese for a few extra calories.
