Ingredients Needed

  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp / 7g) active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) lukewarm water
  • 1 tsp inulin powder
  • 3/4 cup (75g) blanched almond flour
  • 1/2 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups (170g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 oz (28g) cream cheese, cubed
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for topping)

How To Make Low Carb Keto Fathead Dinner Rolls

  1. Activate the yeast: In a medium bowl, mix the lukewarm water and inulin. Add the yeast, stir, and set aside for 10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a food processor, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and beaten egg. Once the yeast mixture has risen to 1/2 cup (118ml), add it to the food processor and pulse until fully combined.
  3. Melt the cheese: In another bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals or melt over a double boiler until fully melted. Stir until smooth.
  4. Form the dough: Add the melted cheese mixture to the food processor, placing it over the blade. Process until a smooth dough forms, scraping down the sides as needed.
  5. Chill the dough: Refrigerate the dough for 15-20 minutes until it’s firm enough to handle without sticking.
  6. Preheat the oven & shape rolls: Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a 10×15-inch (25x38cm) baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly oil your hands, shape the dough into a ball, and cut it into 8 equal sections. Roll each section into a ball and place them 2 inches (5cm) apart on the baking sheet.
  7. Add toppings & bake: Sprinkle sesame seeds on top (if using) and gently press them in. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Recipe Tips

  • Use Fresh Yeast: Make sure your yeast is fresh and active. If it doesn’t foam after 10 minutes, the dough won’t rise properly.
  • Melt Cheese Correctly: Heat the mozzarella and cream cheese until fully melted and smooth. If it’s lumpy, the dough won’t mix well.
  • Chill the Dough: After mixing, chill the dough for 15-20 minutes to make it easier to handle. This prevents it from sticking to your hands.
  • Oil Your Hands: Lightly oil your hands before shaping the rolls. This keeps the dough from sticking and helps form smooth, even rolls.
  • Bake Until Golden: Watch the rolls closely in the oven. They should be golden brown on top but still soft inside. Overbaking can make them dry.

How To Store and Reheat Leftovers?

  • Refrigerate: Let the leftover rolls cool to room temperature. Store them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days to keep them fresh.
  • Freeze: Once cooled, place the rolls in a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 3 months. To serve, thaw at room temperature before eating or lightly warm in the oven.
  • Reheat: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the rolls on a baking sheet and heat for 5-7 minutes until warm and slightly crispy.
