Ingredients (For 6 Rolls)
Here’s all you need for this magical keto bread transformation:
-
1 cup almond flour
(Make sure it’s blanched and finely ground for best results.) -
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
(Low-moisture part-skim mozzarella works great.) -
2 teaspoons baking powder
-
2 large eggs
Optional: a sprinkle of sesame seeds or Italian seasoning for a gourmet touch.
Instructions
🕒 Prep Time: 10 minutes
🔥 Cook Time: 15-18 minutes
🍽️ Makes: 6 rolls
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. You can lightly grease it with olive oil for extra non-stick power.
Step 2: Melt the Cheese
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella and almond flour. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and well combined (usually about 1–1.5 minutes total).
Tip: Don’t overheat. You want the mixture pliable, not rubbery.
Step 3: Mix in Eggs and Baking Powder
Add eggs and baking powder to the cheese-almond mix. Stir until you get a sticky, uniform dough. If it’s too soft, refrigerate for 5 minutes to firm up.
Step 4: Form the Rolls
Divide the dough into 6 equal parts. Gently roll each into a ball and place on your baking sheet. Leave space between them—they puff up beautifully!
Step 5: Bake and Cool
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly firm to the touch. Let them cool for 5–10 minutes on the tray before serving.
Serving Suggestions for Summer
These 4 Ingredient Keto Rolls are as versatile as they are tasty. For a summery flair:
-
Keto Chicken Salad Sliders: Fill them with grilled chicken, Greek yogurt, celery, and a dash of mustard.
-
Mini Caprese Bites: Slice and stuff with fresh mozzarella, tomato, and basil. Drizzle with balsamic glaze.
-
Avocado Egg Smash: A creamy, zesty breakfast or brunch idea. Add chili flakes for a kick!
-
Keto Burger Rolls: Use them as buns for grass-fed beef or turkey patties with summer slaw.
Storage & Reheating
-
Room Temp: Store in an airtight container for 2 days.
-
Fridge: Keeps for up to 5 days. Reheat in a toaster oven for that just-baked feel.
-
Freezer: Freeze individually for up to 2 months. Reheat from frozen at 350°F for 10 minutes.
FAQ
Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
Coconut flour is much more absorbent. If you substitute, use only 1/4 cup and consider adding an extra egg.
What if I don’t have a microwave?
No problem! Melt the cheese and almond flour together over low heat in a non-stick pan while stirring continuously.
Can I add herbs or spices?
Absolutely! A touch of garlic powder, Italian herbs, or chili flakes elevates the flavor.
