Description

These Keto Bread Rolls are soft, low-carb, and perfect for anyone following a ketogenic diet. Made with almond flour and cheese, they offer a delicious, gluten-free alternative to traditional bread rolls. Ready in just 30 minutes, these rolls are ideal for a quick snack or as a side to your favorite meal.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 3 large eggs (divided)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and set it aside to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Melt the cheeses: Place the shredded cheese and cream cheese in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for about 30 seconds until the cheeses mostly melt. Stir well with a whisk until smooth, then allow the mixture to cool for several minutes to avoid cooking the eggs prematurely.
  3. Mix the dough: Once the cheese mixture has cooled slightly, add the almond flour, two of the eggs, and optional baking powder. Stir thoroughly until a smooth dough forms, with no lumps remaining.
  4. Form the rolls: With clean hands, shape the dough into 10 evenly sized balls. Position these on the prepared baking tray to prepare for baking.
  5. Apply egg wash: Whisk the remaining egg separately. Using a pastry brush, gently coat the exterior of each dough ball with the egg wash. This step helps create a glossy, golden crust on the rolls.
  6. Bake: Place the tray in the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the rolls turn golden brown on the outside.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the rolls warm. They pair wonderfully with butter, cheeses, or as a sandwich base.

Notes

  • Use mozzarella for a milder flavor or cheddar for a sharper taste.
  • The divided eggs mean two are mixed in the dough, and one is used for the egg wash.
  • Baking powder is optional but helps the rolls rise slightly, making them fluffier.
  • Allow the cheese mixture to cool before adding eggs to prevent them from cooking prematurely.
  • Store leftover rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat rolls in the oven or toaster oven to restore crispness.
