INGREDIENT NOTES:
MOZZARELLA CHEESE:
The dough gets its flexible, bread-like feel from the easy melting of mozzarella cheese. It also helps keep the rolls together without using carbohydrates & provides richness.
CREAM CHEESE:
Cream cheese gives a creamy, buttery flavor & softens the dough. It keeps the rolls soft & moist.
ALMOND FLOUR:
The ideal low-carb alternative to wheat flour is almond flour. It adds healthy fats & produces a light, fluffy texture to keep you full.
BAKING POWDER:
Baking powder keeps the insides of the rolls soft & helps them rise. It adds a little fluff & bread-like texture without yeast.
EGGS:
Eggs hold the ingredients together & give structure. It aids in baking and browning & provides protein in addition.
GARLIC POWDER:
It provides the deepness in taste & savory aroma in these rolls. It perfectly strikes a balance between the richness of bacon & cheese.
SALT:
Salt improves the dough’s flavor in general. It highlights the cheese’s and bacon’s inherent flavors.
BACON:
The crunch and smoky flavor of cooked bacon enhance the taste of every bite. You can use either crispy or chewy bacon, depending on your taste.
CHEDDAR CHEESE:
The cheddar cheese on top forms a golden crust. It gives the rolls a lovely, enticing & added cheesiness.
INSTRUCTIONS:
We put the parchment on the pan.
Heat the oven to 375° F.
Add mozzarella cheese & cream cheese in a dish and melt for thirty seconds, and stir them in between so it gets a smooth consistency.

How to prepare them fluffier?
We can include one additional teaspoon of baking powder or a tbsp. Sour cream in the dough so it gets fluffy.
