Flour: I use a blend of almond flour and coconut flour as a low-carb alternative to wheat flour
Cheese: I use a blend of mozzarella and cream cheese. The mozzarella adds a subtle flavor, while the cream cheese adds a creamy texture to the dough.
Baking Powder: This helps the dough rise without the need for traditional yeast.
Salt: You need just a little salt for taste.
Large Eggs: Eggs act as a binder and help form the structure of the rolls, adding moisture and richness to the dough.
Sour Cream: It brings a subtle tanginess and extra moisture, making the rolls soft and tender.
Melted Butter: Brushing the rolls with melted butter before baking gives them a beautiful golden color and a rich, buttery crust.

🔪 How To Make Keto Dinner Rolls

Preheat the oven to 375F, and line a 9 inch cast iron skillet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients, including the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese and melt in 30-second increments, stirring well after each, until fully melted.
Allow the cheese mixture to cool until it is only slightly warm, not hot, then beat in the eggs and sour cream using an electric mixer, stand mixer, or food processor until smooth.
Add the almond flour mixture and mix well. Allow to stand for a couple of minutes for the coconut flour to hydrate.
Form 12 equal-sized balls and arrange them in the prepared pan, then brush with butter and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden brown on top.
Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before pulling apart and serving.

🥫 Storing and Reheating

Store any leftover keto dinner rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. To maintain their freshness, reheat them in the oven or toaster for a few minutes. They'll taste just as delicious as when freshly baked.

💭 Tips and Variations

Mix in sharp cheddar or pepper jack for extra flavor.
Add dried rosemary or thyme for a nice aroma.
Try a garlic or herb butter on the side for a tasty boost.
Press the dough flat to make keto-friendly mini pizza crusts.
Add sesame seeds to make low-carb hamburger buns.
Brush with egg wash to get a pretzel-like finish or shape them into keto pretzels.
Turn the dough into keto cinnamon rolls with a dash of sweetener and cinnamon.
For a cheesy garlic bread, add garlic powder, garlic butter, and melted cheese on top.

👩‍🍳 Frequently asked questions

Can I freeze the rolls?

Yes, these keto dinner rolls freeze well. Store them in a freezer-safe container, and when ready to enjoy, reheat them in the oven for a few minutes until warmed through.

Can I make smaller rolls for appetizers?

Absolutely! Adjust the size of the dough balls to create smaller rolls, then reduce baking time by a few minutes so that the rolls don't get overdone.

Parchment paper in the cast-iron skillet helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup a breeze. Make sure it covers the bottom and sides of the skillet before baking.
