Keto Fathead rolls are a popular low-carb alternative to traditional bread rolls. They are made with a dough that is primarily composed of cheese, cream cheese, almond flour, and eggs. The dough is rolled out, baked, and then can be used as a base for sandwiches, sliders, or simply enjoyed on its own.
Here’s a basic recipe for Keto Fathead rolls:
Ingredients:
1 ¾ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons cream cheese
1 ½ cups almond flour
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheeses are melted and well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.
Add the almond flour, baking powder, and pinch of salt to the melted cheese mixture. Stir until the ingredients start to come together.
Add the beaten eggs to the dough mixture and continue to stir until a sticky dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a surface lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and uniform.
Divide the dough into smaller portions and shape them into rolls. Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving.
You can customize the flavor of your Keto Fathead rolls by adding herbs, spices, or other seasonings to the dough. Additionally, you can brush the rolls with melted butter or sprinkle some sesame seeds on top before baking for added flavor and texture.
These rolls are best enjoyed fresh, but you can also store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few days. Just reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.
Remember that while Keto Fathead rolls are a low-carb option, they are still calorie-dense due to the cheese and almond flour. It’s important to consider portion sizes and incorporate them into a well-balanced ketogenic diet.
