My Personal Experience

As someone who has been living the keto lifestyle for quite some time, I’ve made my fair share of keto bread and roll recipes. I’ve tried recipes that promised soft rolls, only to end up with dense, crumbly results. But these Keto Garlic Dinner Rolls? They absolutely blew me away! The first time I made them, I could not believe how fluffy and light they were.

The garlic flavor adds the perfect punch, making them taste just like those buttery dinner rolls you’d get at a restaurant. These rolls are so versatile too—I’ve used them for everything from serving alongside a big bowl of chili to making the perfect little sandwich. I’m confident that once you try these, they’ll become a regular addition to your keto meal rotation.

Required Equipment

When making these Keto Garlic Dinner Rolls, you don’t need any fancy equipment, but there are a few kitchen essentials that will make the process smoother and more enjoyable.

1. Mixing Bowls: You’ll need at least two mixing bowls—one for the dry ingredients and another for the wet ones. I recommend using medium-sized bowls that are big enough to comfortably mix your ingredients but not too big that things get messy.
2. Electric Mixer or Stand Mixer: While you can mix by hand, I’ve found that using an electric mixer really helps speed up the process. It’s especially helpful for getting the dough to the right consistency without too much effort. I love how easy it is to whip up a dough that’s smooth and well-combined with an electric mixer.
3. Baking Sheet: A flat baking sheet is essential for cooking the rolls evenly. I’ve used a simple, non-stick baking sheet for years, and it never disappoints. It helps the rolls bake evenly and gives them that golden-brown color that everyone loves.
4. Parchment Paper or Silicone Baking Mat: This is a game changer when it comes to making keto rolls. No sticky mess to worry about, and they come off the sheet so easily. I prefer using parchment paper because it’s a no-hassle solution.
5. Measuring Cups and Spoons: You’ll need these to get the right measurements for your dry ingredients, especially the almond flour and baking powder. Getting the correct measurements is key to achieving that perfect roll texture.

Ingredients & Substitutions

Here’s what you’ll need to make these Keto Garlic Dinner Rolls:

• Almond flour (2 cups): This is the base of the rolls, and it’s what keeps them low-carb and gluten-free. It gives the rolls a slightly nutty flavor and a great texture.
• Baking powder (2 teaspoons): This helps the rolls rise and gives them that light, fluffy texture. Without it, the rolls would be dense and heavy.
• Eggs (2 large): Eggs bind everything together and give structure to the dough. They also add richness to the flavor.
• Mozzarella cheese (1 ½ cups shredded): This is the secret ingredient that makes the rolls cheesy and adds a soft, stretchy texture.
• Cream cheese (3 tablespoons, softened): It adds a creamy texture to the dough, making it softer and smoother.
• Garlic powder (1 teaspoon): The star of the show! This gives the rolls that delicious garlic flavor that makes them irresistible.
• Salt (½ teaspoon): Salt is essential for balancing the flavors and enhancing the garlic taste.
• Unsalted butter (3 tablespoons, melted): This adds richness and helps give the rolls a beautiful golden color once baked.
• Optional: Fresh herbs (like parsley or rosemary, chopped): Adding a little fresh herb to the dough can elevate the flavor even more. It’s totally optional but highly recommended!

Substitutions:

• If you’re not a fan of garlic powder, you can substitute with finely minced fresh garlic.
• For a dairy-free version, you can swap the mozzarella and cream cheese for dairy-free alternatives.

How to Make Keto Garlic Dinner Rolls

1. Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the rolls bake evenly and don’t take too long to cook.

2. Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Stir to combine these dry ingredients.

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. Add the shredded mozzarella and softened cream cheese. Microwave the mixture for about 30 seconds to melt the cheese. Then stir it well until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture becomes smooth.

3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Slowly add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is fully combined. You should have a thick, sticky dough.

4. Shape the Rolls
Once the dough is ready, wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking and form the dough into small rolls. Aim for about 8 to 10 rolls, depending on how large you want them.

5. Bake the Rolls
Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush each roll with the melted butter, then place them in the oven to bake for about 15-18 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.

6. Serve
Once the rolls are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Tips for This Recipe

• Make sure the mozzarella cheese is fully melted before adding it to the dough for the best texture.
• If the dough seems too sticky to handle, refrigerate it for 10 minutes to make it easier to shape.
• For extra garlic flavor, you can brush the tops of the rolls with garlic butter right after they come out of the oven.

Optional Additions

Feel free to experiment with these optional additions:

• Add finely chopped fresh herbs, such as rosemary or thyme, for a fragrant and flavorful twist.
• If you like cheesy rolls, try adding a little extra shredded mozzarella to the dough.
• You can also sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top of the rolls for an added savory kick.

Serving Ideas

These Keto Garlic Dinner Rolls can be served in various ways:

• Pair them with a warm bowl of keto-friendly soup, like broccoli cheddar or chicken zucchini soup.
• Serve them as a side to your favorite protein, such as grilled chicken, steak, or salmon.
• Use them as a base for a low-carb sandwich with your favorite fillings like turkey, avocado, and bacon.

Storage Recommendation

Store your Keto Garlic Dinner Rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply microwave them for 15-20 seconds or heat them in the oven for a few minutes at 350°F (175°C).

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the dough in advance, shape the rolls, and store them in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking. This is great for meal prepping!

Are these rolls gluten-free?
Yes, these rolls are completely gluten-free since they are made with almond flour.

Can I use another flour instead of almond flour?
I wouldn’t recommend substituting the almond flour, as it provides the right texture and moisture. Other flours may affect the outcome of the recipe.
