Keto Dinner Rolls

Teresa Ambra

Gluten Free Living – 2022

Well I tried my first keto recipe a couple of months ago. Keto Dinner Rolls. Truthfully, I wasn’t sure how these would turn out or if we would like them or not. I, and all of our company, were very pleasantly surprised. While they have a different texture and taste than regular dinner rolls, they were delightful.

We invited two couples from our church over for dinner in January. One of the guys is a diabetic and has to be really careful with his diet. In addition to no sweets he can have no potatoes, no rice (which is hard on his wife because she’s Asian and loves rice), and no bread. I told them I’d come up with a meal plan that he could eat without any problems.

We grilled chicken and asparagus. I made Roasted Tomatoes and these Keto Dinner Rolls. One of the couples brought a luscious fruit salad, and the other couple made poached pears with a granola filling that was Keto-friendly. It was a terrific meal.

Let me suggest a few things when making these Keto Dinner Rolls:

  1. The hardest part is mixing the ingredients when you add the almond flour. Shaping that mixture into balls/rolls is a gooey mess. Just be warned.
  2. I ended up mixing the ingredients with my hands (as you would when mixing meatloaf). I couldn’t get it to stir together otherwise. Mine never did form a nice soft ball.
  3. Use almond flour, not almond meal. There’s a difference in texture and results.
  4. Bake these rolls just before serving. They really must be eaten hot! I’m not sure what happens after they get cold, but they just don’t taste the same. They’re still okay, just nowhere near as good as they are hot out of the oven.
  5. I would also shape the balls of dough larger. Don’t try to get 8 rolls out of this concoction. The rolls will be fairly small that way. Five or six rolls is more realistic.
  6. I added the baking powder from the original recipe to see if they would raise more. I’m not sure if it really affected the rolls, one way or another.

We had a few of these rolls left over afterwards and I served them with Creamy Garlic Mushroom Chicken Thighs. These dinner rolls are really great with anything you serve them with. Just remember to reheat the rolls if you want to eat leftovers! Enjoy.

Here’s what I did.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups low moisture mozzarella cheese shredded (can use cheddar cheese)
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour not almond meal
  • 3 large eggs at room temperature, divided use

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • In a large mixing bowl, microwave cheeses together about 30 seconds until cheese has begun to melt.
  • Remove from microwave and allow cheese to cool for several minutes.
  • Stir cheeses together.
  • Add almond flour and two of the eggs.
  • If desired, add baking powder.
  • Stir well to combine. (See note below).

Notes

NOTE: To make garlic rolls, eliminate extra egg. Brush tops with a tablespoon or two of melted butter mixed with ¼ tsp. garlic salt or a little fresh, finely minced garlic.
