I used to love garlic dough balls so had a play around with a low carb bread stick recipe and voila, low carb and gluten free alternative to dough balls. Slathered with some garlic butter and yum!
My second batch was smothered with mozzarella cheese and baked in the oven until it melted. Delicious. You could play around with the flavourings too... I used pesto as I love the taste of it with cheese, but any herbal spices would be lovely instead. Just use the almond and cheese ingredients and adapt...go crazy and get inventive in the kitchen!
