Description
There’s nothing like the aroma of freshly baked rolls drifting through the summer air. These 4 Ingredient Keto Rolls are soft, fluffy, and absolutely perfect for a light lunch, backyard gathering, or picnic at the park. I learned a similar version of this recipe from my nonna, who loved crafting rustic, minimal-ingredient bread rolls for warm-weather meals. This is the low-carb twist—simplified, delicious, and guilt-free.
Ingredients
-
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
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.
