Keto rolls are on the menu today. If you’ve been doing keto for a while, you know how much you can miss bread. These rolls are a great solution to that problem. They’re low in carbs but still have that satisfying bread-like texture and taste.
What makes these rolls special is the combination of ingredients. We’re using almond flour instead of wheat flour, which keeps the carb count low. Then we add in some mozzarella and cream cheese, which might sound strange for bread, but trust me, it works. These cheeses give the rolls a great texture and flavor.
One thing I like about this recipe is that it’s pretty forgiving. Even if you’re not an expert baker, you can make these rolls. The steps are simple, and I’ll guide you through each one. As long as you can measure ingredients and form dough into balls, you’ll be fine.
These rolls are great for any meal of the day. You can have them for breakfast with some eggs, use them for sandwiches at lunch, or serve them alongside your dinner. They’re also good for snacking if you get hungry between meals.
So, if you’re ready to add some bread back into your keto life, let’s get started with these delicious and easy keto rolls.
👍 Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Low in carbs – If you’re following a keto diet, these rolls are perfect for you. They have very few carbs, which means you can enjoy them without worrying about going over your daily carb limit. This makes them a great substitute for regular bread, which is off-limits on a keto diet.
Tastes like real bread – One of the best things about these rolls is that they taste similar to regular bread. They’re soft and chewy, with a slightly crispy outside. This means you can satisfy your bread cravings without breaking your diet.
Easy to make – These keto rolls are really simple to prepare. You don’t need to be a master chef to make them. Just mix the ingredients, form the rolls, and bake them. It’s a great recipe for busy days when you don’t have much time to spend in the kitchen but still want something homemade and tasty.
✨ Recipe Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Cream Cheese (softened)

👨🍳 How To Make
Follow my easy recipe and make the best keto rolls:
Step 1
Start by preheating the oven to 350°F and lining a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Add the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese to a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until the cheese is mostly melted. Remove from the microwave and whisk well until the mixture is smooth. Set aside for 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add in the almond flour and two of the eggs (also add baking powder if using). Mix well until the dough is formed.
Step 4
Form 10 balls of dough and place them on the lined baking sheet.
Step 5
Whisk the remaining egg and use a pastry brush to brush the egg wash onto the rolls.
Step 6
Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown on the outside. Enjoy!
💡Tips
1. Let the Cheese Mixture Cool Slightly
After you melt the mozzarella and cream cheese in the microwave, let it cool for a few minutes before adding the other ingredients. If the cheese mixture is too hot, it can start to cook the eggs when you add them, leading to scrambled bits in your dough.
Letting it cool also makes the dough easier to handle when you’re shaping the rolls. You want the cheese mixture to be warm and pliable, but not hot. A good rule of thumb is to wait until you can comfortably touch the cheese mixture without it feeling too hot.
2. Use Wet Hands When Shaping the Rolls
The dough for these rolls can be a bit sticky. To make it easier to handle, wet your hands with a little water before shaping each roll. This prevents the dough from sticking to your hands and helps you form smooth, even balls.
You don’t need a lot of water – just enough to dampen your palms. If the dough starts sticking again as you work, just re-wet your hands. This simple trick makes the shaping process much easier and faster.
