6. Bake until golden
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through. Allow them to cool for 5–10 minutes before serving so they can firm up.
Tips for the best keto rolls
- Use finely ground almond flour for a softer, more even texture.
- Work while the cheese is warm: it makes the dough easier to combine.
- Avoid overheating the cheese so it doesn’t become tough or oily.
- Add flavor: garlic powder, Italian seasoning, or a little grated Parmesan can make these rolls extra delicious.
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for the best texture.
Are these rolls keto-friendly?
Yes! These rolls are low-carb and keto-friendly because they use almond flour instead of wheat flour and contain no added sugar.
