If you guys have been following us, you know we’re pretty much obsessed with low-carb/keto bread rolls.
We have been making all different kinds of variations like cheddar jalapeño rolls, green onion rolls, cheddar bay biscuits and our popular garlic butter sea salt cheese rolls.
My entire family loves these rolls because they are so much more flavorful than ones made with just wheat flour.
I mean, what can go wrong with a roll made from a little Almond Flour,, bacon, cheese and some cream cheese? Not to mention, they are gluten-free!
Because these rolls are made from almond flour and cheese, they won’t have the same texture as traditional bread rolls made from wheat flour but still absolute delish! They’re more dense and very filling.
I recommend serving these rolls warm or fresh out of the oven. They will harden as they cool, but you can easily pop them in the microwave for a few seconds and they will soften right up.
Since these rolls are so flavorful, they’re delicious by themselves and even better as a dinner roll.
However you decide to use these rolls, I’m sure one bite and you will be wishing you made these sooner!
The special ingredients needed for this recipe is only Almond Flour, which can be picked up on Amazon or a local Supermarket.
