    Keto Dinner Rolls

    Honestly before starting the keto diet. I wasn't one to go crazy over breads. But since starting this WOE. My cravings for bread has increased. Blame it on the psychology of wanting what you can't have lol. These keto dinner rolls always hit the right spot for me just like my best ever keto bread does. This is a similar recipe with some modifications.

    Keto Dinner Rolls

    How to make Keto dinner rolls

    These Keto dinner rolls are made from our good old low carb dough aka the fathead dough but with a little twist. I swapped instead the cheese for butter. You know butter makes stuff ah-mazing right? These keto dinner rolls are to die for. O my yum!!

    To make these keto dinner rolls, you will need;

    • Butter ( I used my home made butter )
    • Eggs
    • Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
    • Almond flour
    • instant Yeast (optional)
    • Erytritol (optional)

    Melt the butter and mozzarella cheese. Add Almond flour then the beaten eggs. Mix, mix mix. Till it all comes together

    Divide dough into 8 balls. Place in a greased 10 in skillet. Brush the top of the rolls with egg wash. Bake in a preheated oven at 400 F for 15 mins or until top is lightly golden brown

    Brush top with some melted butter. Now tell me what this is, if it isn't some kind of culinary heaven ??

    Calories 269 kcal

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 ½  cup  blanched almond flour
    • 1  tbsp  Baking powder
    • 2 ½  cup  shredded Mozzarella cheese
    • 3 tablespoon Butter ( reserve 1 Tablespoon for brushing the rolls when they are ready )
    • 2 tablespoon unflavored protein powder
    • 2  Large Eggs beaten + 1 for egg wash
    • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast or instant ( use up to 2 teaspoon for more intense flavor )
    • 1  Tbsp  erythritol ( optional)

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 400ºF
    • Mix dry ingredients ( almond flour, protein powder, yeast, erythritol, and baking powder) together and set aside
    • Put the butter, and shredded Mozzarella cheese in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 seconds intervals until cheese is evenly melted. Remember to stir in between ( helps to distribute the heat. ) it usually takes me about 1 min 30 secs in total sometimes 2 mins.
    • Pour dry ingredients into the microwaved cheese and butter mix the and mix with your hands or with a spatula then add the cold eggs. Mix till a ball of dough forms
    • Grease a 10 in Skillet and line the bottom with parchment paper.
    • Wet your hands and divide the dough into 8 equal balls
    • Place them in the greased and lined cast iron skillet.
    • Brush with egg wash then bake in the oven for 10 to 12 mins or until the top is golden brown.
    • Bring out of the oven, brush some melted butter on top allow to cool and enjoy.

    Notes

    • These dinner rolls are soft and delicious but they are a bit flatter than regular dinner rolls.
    • If you don't want to use protein powder, add 1 tablespoon of coconut flour. I do this because using butter for this recipe makes the dough more oily so addition of the protein powder or coconut flour helps mop it up and brings the dough together.

        You don’t have to use the protein powder. You can sub with a Tbsp of coconut flour.

        You can skip the protein powder either you increase the almond flour by 2 Tbsp or add 1 Tbsp of coconut flour. Let me know how it went. Thanks for stopping by. ?

        No you don’t need to chill it. If you are not using the instant yeast, bake after mixing all the ingredients.

      I used French vanilla protein powder since I think butter smell is similar to vanilla since I don’t have unflavored and I’m not a fan of coconut flour. It turned out really great, Keep it up! ❤️

      Hello, does taking take out the cheese make a huge difference? Is there a more affordable substitute.

        Hi Cherry,

        Unfortunately, the mozzarella cheese is a vital part of this recipe. It adds to the stretch and texture of the bread. It would make a huge difference without it. But you can try this other bread recipe that doesn’t need mozzarella cheese. They can be made into rolls too.

      Oh. My. Goodness. You deserve a Nobel Peace Prize or something! 🤤 I’ve tried a lot of keto breads and they’re always so eggy that it’s not even worth eating. Your bread really taste like bread! Like real carb-loaded bread! Thank you for saving me from falling off of the wagon!

      I am a huge fan of your recipes I've tried so far - The keto oatmeal (I sneak in half or 1/3 small banana, especially if I'm having just a tuna salad that day), and the banana bread is to die for!
      I am trying to minimise my daily net carbs, and almond flour is more dear than coconut flour price wise also. I am about to try this recipe with coconut flour instead: Substitute for roughly 1/4 cup + 2 tbs, for the 1.5 cup almond flour.
      I have the new nutrition value for fats, protein and net carbs as approximately 9.35F, 8.5P, and 3NC,; using the coconut flour. Please advise if this is accurate?

      Look forward to hearing from you soon.

        Hi Cc,

        Happy new year! Glad you are a fan of my recipes cos I am a fan of all my readers! You all are the MVPs.

        Of course I am happy to help. If you want to use coconut flour, I have a fathead dough recipe you can use. I would link to it below.

        All you need to do is

        • Add 1 Tbsp of baking powder,
        • Swap out the cream cheese for butter
        • Double the recipe.

        I think it will make about 9- 10 rolls instead of 8.

        That nutrition facts is already calculated for that recipe. Let me know it goes. Thank you for reaching out. Feel free to reach out again if you have more questions.
