Sometimes it’s nice to have a good ‘bread’ side, especially a garlic-y one. Well, when you are on a Keto or low carb diet, that isn’t an option so what can you do? Well, by modifying a basic fat head dough recipe, you can make just about any ‘bread’ product. These turned out so good too – even my kids were fooled by these and thought it was garlic bread!
I made lots of other goodies for this meal including a pork roast with homemade gravy, cauliflower rice risotto, cheesy green beans, and mashed radishes. And I’ll have those recipes up soon 🙂
For these garlic rolls, here’s what you need:
- mozzarella cheese
- cream cheese
- egg
- almond flour
- coconut flour
- baking powder
- xanthan gum
- butter
- garlic
- parsley
- garlic powder
These are pretty much basic staples in a Keto diet, but if you aren’t sure where to get them, just click the hyperlink and it’ll take you to a place you can purchase them.
Keto Cheesy Garlic Rolls
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Servings: 12
Net carbs: 2 per roll
2 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese
3 tbsp cream cheese
1 egg
1/4 cup almond flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
1/8 cup butter
4 cloves garlic
1 tbsp parsley
1 tsp garlic powder
Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees.
Put 2 cups of the mozzarella and the cream cheese in a microwave safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds at a time, stirring, until melted and well combined. Add in both flours, baking powder, xanthan gum, garlic powder, and egg. Mix well.
In a small microwave safe bowl, melt the butter and then add in the minced garlic and parsley. Using this mixture, brush the bottom and sides of the muffin tins. Divide the dough into 36 small balls. I divided the batch into 6 balls, and then each of those into 6.
Put 3 of the balls into each of the muffin tin and gently press together. Brush with the remaining butter. Bake for 10-12 minutes until puffed and browned. Remove and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese. Place back in oven for 3-5 minutes until cheese is melted. Cool and enjoy!
