They’re surprisingly easy to make, require minimal ingredients, and the result is a delightfully soft and chewy roll with a slightly cheesy flavor that’s perfect for slathering with butter, using for mini sandwiches, or simply enjoying on their own.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar * See notes)
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 3 large eggs (Divided ** See notes)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (optional)

    • Notes on Ingredients:

    The cheese choice is really up to your preference! I find a blend of mozzarella and cheddar gives a fantastic flavor and melt. If you’re using cheddar, opt for a sharper one for more pronounced taste. Mozzarella alone will yield a more neutral, stretchier interior. Some people even like to add a touch of parmesan for extra savory notes. For the cream cheese, make sure it’s truly softened. This makes it much easier to incorporate into the cheese mixture and prevents any lumps. When it comes to the eggs, we’ll be using the yolks in the main dough and the whites for a bit of lift and binding. This separation helps achieve a better texture. The baking powder is technically optional, but I find it gives these rolls an extra boost in fluffiness, so I highly recommend it if you have it on hand.

    Cooking Instructions:

    Phase 1: Preparing the Dough Base

  • First, let’s get our oven preheating. You’ll want to set your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). While the oven is warming up, prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. This step is crucial to prevent the cheesy bottoms of our rolls from sticking. You can also lightly grease the parchment paper with a bit of butter or avocado oil if you’re extra concerned about sticking, but usually, parchment paper is sufficient.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the 2 cups of shredded cheese and the 1/4 cup of softened cream cheese. Microwave this mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the cheeses are completely melted and smooth. This usually takes about 1 to 2 minutes in total, depending on your microwave’s power. Be careful not to overheat the cheese, as it can become oily. Once melted, carefully remove the bowl from the microwave.
  • Now, it’s time to add the dry ingredients to our melted cheese mixture. Stir in the 1 1/2 cups of almond flour and the optional 1 teaspoon of baking powder until well combined. At this stage, the mixture will be thick and somewhat sticky. You might find it helpful to use a sturdy spatula or a wooden spoon to mix everything thoroughly. Ensure there are no pockets of dry almond flour remaining.
  • Next, we’ll incorporate the egg yolks. Separate your 3 large eggs, placing the yolks into a small bowl and the whites into a separate, clean, dry bowl. Add the 3 egg yolks to the cheese and almond flour mixture. Stir vigorously until everything is thoroughly combined and you have a cohesive dough. This dough will be quite sticky, which is perfectly normal. Don’t be tempted to add more almond flour at this stage, as it could make the rolls dry.

    • Phase 2: Whipping the Egg Whites

  • This next step is key to achieving a lighter, fluffier texture for our keto rolls. In the separate, clean bowl, you’ll whip the 3 egg whites. You can use an electric mixer (handheld or stand mixer) or a whisk if you’re feeling energetic! Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This means that when you lift the whisk or beaters out of the bowl, the egg whites will stand up straight and hold their shape without drooping. This process might take a few minutes. Ensure your bowl and beaters are completely free of any grease or yolk, as this will prevent the whites from whipping properly.
  • Once your egg whites are stiff, it’s time to gently fold them into the cheesy dough. Add about a third of the whipped egg whites to the dough mixture. Use a spatula to gently fold them in, trying not to deflate the air you’ve incorporated. Continue folding in the remaining egg whites in two more additions, until just combined. You want to see streaks of egg white throughout the dough; overmixing will result in denser rolls.

    • Phase 3: Shaping and Baking

  • Now it’s time to form our rolls! Lightly wet your hands with water or grease them with a little oil. This will help prevent the sticky dough from clingin extractg to your fingers. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the dough for each roll and gently shape them into round balls. Place the formed rolls onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one to allow for expansion. You should get about 8 to 10 rolls from this recipe.
  • Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are beautifully golden brown and puffed up. The exact baking time will depend on your oven, so keep an eye on them. You want them to be firm to the touch and have a nice color. If you’re unsure, you can gently press one of the rolls; it should spring back slightly.
  • Once baked to perfection, remove the keto bread rolls from the oven. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. While they are delicious served warm, letting them cool slightly will allow their structure to set.

    • These keto bread rolls are incredibly versatile. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven with a generous dollop of butter, use them to make miniature sandwiches, or serve them alongside your favorite keto soup or stew. They also freeze wonderfully, so you can make a batch and have them on hand for whenever that bread craving strikes!
