Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- ¾ cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Optional topping: sesame seeds or shredded cheese
Why These Ingredients Work
Mozzarella and cream cheese melt into a stretchy base, while almond flour replaces traditional wheat flour for a low-carb, keto-friendly texture. Baking powder adds lift, keeping the rolls soft and fluffy.
Ingredient Notes
- Mozzarella cheese: Use low-moisture mozzarella for best structure.
- Cream cheese: Adds richness and prevents dryness.
- Almond flour: Finely blanched almond flour works best.
- Egg: Binds the dough and helps the rolls rise.
- Baking powder: Essential for airy, bread-like texture.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. - Melt the cheeses
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until fully melted and smooth. - Mix the dough
Transfer melted cheese to a mixing bowl. Add almond flour, egg, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms. - Shape the rolls
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a smooth ball and place on the baking sheet. - Add toppings
Sprinkle with sesame seeds or extra cheese if desired for a bakery-style finish. - Bake until golden
Bake for 15 minutes or until the rolls are puffed and lightly golden. - Cool slightly
Let the rolls cool for 5 minutes before slicing or serving.
Pro Tips & Variations
For extra flavor, mix Italian seasoning or dried herbs directly into the dough. Want a sharper taste? Swap half the mozzarella for cheddar or pepper jack cheese. These rolls can also be shaped into slider buns or hot dog-style rolls. If the dough stiffens while shaping, warm it briefly in the microwave. Store baked rolls properly to maintain softness, and toast lightly before serving for added texture.
Serving Suggestions

- Breakfast sandwiches (egg, bacon, cheese)
