Want bread on a keto diet? You can make yummy rolls in just 22 minutes! Yep, they’re quick to make. These little guys are low in carbs but full of taste. Each roll has only six grams of carbs.
Plus, you get nine grams of protein to keep you full. They are great for any meal. You need simple stuff you may already have. Time to bake? Let’s do it!
Stuff you’ll need:
- Mozzarella Cheese (1 cup, shredded): This is the base of our rolls, so go for the good stuff!
- Cream Cheese (1 oz, room temp): Makes things soft and yummy. Make sure it’s soft for easy mixing!
- Egg (1 large): Helps hold it all together.
- Almond Flour (1/2 cup): A keto must-have, it gives a nice texture.
- Ground Flaxseed (1/4 cup): Adds a bit of healthy goodness.
- Coconut Flour (2 tablespoons): Just a little bit for the right feel.
- Baking Soda (1/2 teaspoon): To make them rise just a bit.
- Garlic Powder (1/2 teaspoon): Trust me, this makes them so good!
How to make them:
- Heat things up: First, get your oven hot to 400 degrees F. Put some paper on a small baking pan too.
- Melt the cheese: Put your mozzarella and cream cheese in a bowl and heat them in the microwave until they’re melted, about a minute. Mix them up good! It might get hard, but keep mixing.
- Add the egg: Put in the egg and mix it up. Don’t worry if it looks a little funny, it will all work out.
- Mix the dry stuff: In a bigger bowl, mix the almond flour, flaxseed, coconut flour, baking soda, and garlic powder.
- Put it all together: Now, mix the melted cheese stuff into the big bowl with the dry stuff. Mix until it all starts to stick together.
- Knead the dough: Get your hands a bit wet or oily and squish the dough until everything is mixed up and the cheese is all in there.
- Make the rolls: Make a big ball, then cut it into six pieces. Use your hands to make each piece into a little ball. Put them on your baking pan.
- Bake them: Put them in the oven for about 10-12 minutes, until they look brown and are cooked inside.
- Cool and eat: Let them cool down a bit, then eat them up! You can keep them in a closed container for two days.
That’s it! You made some tasty Keto Rolls. They’re great with butter or as a little sandwich. Enjoy!
Smart Ingredient Swaps for Customization
Cooking is all about experimenting, right? While these keto rolls are amazing as-is, you’ve got room to play. Instead of almond flour, try hazelnut flour for a nuttier flavor. Not a fan of flaxseed? Swap it with ground chia seeds for similar binding magic. *Psst* – just keep the measurement ratios consistent, and you’ll be golden!
Clever Storage and Reheating Hacks
These rolls are total meal prep champions! While the recipe suggests storing them for two days, here’s a chef’s insider trick: freeze them! Wrap each roll individually in plastic wrap, then store in a freezer bag. When you’re ready to enjoy, just thaw at room temperature or give them a quick 10-second microwave warm-up. They’ll taste like they’re fresh out of the oven!
Serving Suggestions That Elevate Your Meal
Picture this: warm, golden keto rolls alongside a rich, creamy soup or as the perfect companion to your favorite low-carb main dish. The garlic powder gives these rolls a subtle, irresistible aroma that’ll have everyone asking for seconds. Slice them open, add a pat of butter, and watch the magic happen!
