Why you'll love this recipe
- The Best Bready Texture - I've tried several keto roll recipes, and I couldn't personally find one that I felt had the texture of the bread. But this one delivers on the texture AND taste.
- Tested Until Perfected - Most recipes use almond flour, coconut flour, flaxseed, or a combination of two of them. I found the best results by combining all three.
- Made with Simple Ingredients - If you're someone who routinely cooks a low-carb style meal plan, you will most likely already have these ingredients in your cupboard. The ingredients in this recipe are high in fiber and low in net carbs.
- Great for Dipping - These rolls are perfect for dipping in our Chipotle Chili on a cold evening. Or serve them alongside Keto Chicken Parmesan to complete the meal.
Key ingredients
Cheese: Who doesn't love a cheesy dinner roll? These are packed with melted mozzarella cheese and cream cheese for a salty, savory roll. Yum!
Egg: One egg is plenty to bind these together. It also adds a great chewy exterior!
Almond flour: This is one of the key ingredients. When you're working with alternative flours, never substitute one for another.
Ground flax seed: This healthy seed also helps bring that gluten texture without the carbs! Plus, it's great for digestive health.
Coconut flour: Similar to almond flour, coconut flour is not a 1-to-1 swap for other flour. In fact, it absorbs liquids super quickly and can lead to dry rolls if you add too much.
Baking soda: For that perfect fluffy rise, a little baking soda is key. Sift it into the dough for the most pillowy rolls.
Garlic powder: There is nothing that isn't improved with a little garlic! Garlic powder is a bit sweeter than raw garlic and adds a great herbaceous flavor.

How to make keto rolls
Step 1: In a medium mixing bowl, melt the mozzarella and cream cheese together in the microwave (approximately 1 minute). Stir until combined. The cheese will start to harden, but keep stirring.
Step 2: Add egg and stir until combined. The mixture won't be smooth but don't worry, it will come together in the end.
Step 3: Add almond flour, flaxseed, coconut flour, baking soda, and garlic powder to a large mixing bowl. Whisk until the flours are combined.
Step 4: Add the cheese and egg mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until the ingredients start to pull together.
Step 5: Using oiled hands, or wet hands, knead your dough until the ingredients are combined. Roll the dough into a ball and using a sharp knife, cut into six equal pieces.
Step 6: Using oiled hands or wet hands, roll each dough piece into a ball. Place on the parchment lined baking sheet and bake as directed.

Best tips
Each of the flours in this recipe works differently. Do not substitute one for the other. And each one serves a purpose, so you will need all three.
Like most flours, keto flours need to be carefully measured to ensure you don't add too much flour to your recipe. Always spoon flour into the measuring cup. Never scoop your measuring cup into the flour.
This recipe makes six perfect-sized keto dinner rolls. You can divide the dough into four equal portions and make larger rolls to use as keto hamburger buns or breakfast sandwiches if you'd like.
Storage instructions
Fridge: Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
