The keto diet has replacements and substitutions for many our favorite foods – bread is included here. My favorite keto bread recipes are keto buns, keto bread and these keto rolls.
Everyone needs a good keto roll recipe in their arsenals of recipes. This one is easy to make, so you can whip a batch up to serve along with dinner. And it’s the closest thing to a traditional non-keto dinner roll that you can get, so it’s perfect for holiday meals or potlucks because you friends and family will love them.
The secret to scrumptious rolls is adding a little bit of buttermilk or yogurt. It helps with the flavor, and it helps to make the bread rise in the oven.
Spread some grass-fed butter over the top and you will no longer be missing bread on the keto diet. You can enjoy it everyday!

Keto Bread Rolls Ingredients
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
4 ounces cream cheese

The Best Keto Bread Rolls Directions
-
Preheat
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
-
Melt the cheese
In a small glass bowl, add shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave at 1 minute intervals until the cheese is melted and cream cheese has softened. If you don't want to use a microwave, melt the shredded cheese over the stovetop in a non-stick skillet and use softened cream cheese.
Ingredients
- Mozzarella cheese
- Cream Cheese
-
Get your food processor
To a food processor, add remaining ingredients and melted cheeses. Pulse until combined. You may also combine the ingredients using an electric mixer; however, the dough comes together evenly and faster using a food processor.
Ingredients
- Eggs
- Almond flour
- Coconut flour
- Buttermilk (or yogurt)
- Baking soda
- Baking powder
- Salt
-
Create dough balls
Wet your hands with some water or oil in order to handle the dough. This will prevent the dough from sticking to your hands. Grab a handful of dough, form it into a ball and place on a parchment lined baking tray. Continue with remaining dough. You can form your desired size. Dough balls larger than 2.5 inches wide, will require longer cooking times. Evenly place dough balls on the tray spacing about 1 inch apart.
Quick Tip
If you are counting macros and going off the supplied nutrition facts ensure you get 12 dough balls out of this batch. -
Bake the rolls
Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 13-18 minutes or until hardened on the outside and slightly firm on the inside. Let cool for 3-5 minutes before eating.
Could you list the mozzarella by weight? The weight of three cups of shredded mozzarella could vary quite a bit depending on how it is shredded and packed. As well, since it is being melted, it is a drag to have to go to the bother of shredding it. Thank you. It looks great.
I made these for the first time tonight after finding your youtube site. Absolutely AMAZING!!!
This is the REAL DEAL! I followed directions exactly using plain Fave yogurt. Dough is a little sticky so I oiled my hands to weight out exactly 12 rolls (62 grams each). I added a teaspoon of yeast to give the dough a “yeasty” smell/flavor. This is a great trick for keto breads. I made 6 “balls” that did flatten; I also made 6 “flatter” ones to use as sandwiches; they got really flat. Thanks for this recipe.
Halved recipe. Made 8. Mixed all dry ingredients in processor first then added egg and sour cream. Put melted cheese in last so it was still very hot and it processed easily. Used only one egg. The dough was actually fluffy, full of air and not too sticky. Didn’t even need to wet fingers. Baked 14 and a half min. Best keto roll I’ve ever tried. All the other roll recipes in my keto recipe box were thrown out. Only need this one now. These make great slider rolls! Thanks for the recipe!
These rolls where delicious! I am diabetic and have been eating strict clean keto for 3 years to control my blood sugar in non diabetic range without medication and in that time I’ve made every roll recipe out there. These are by far the best! I served them with a keto beef stew and it was wonderful to have a “bread” to soak up the gravy from the stew. I’m going to try making them larger split in half and see how they are as a bun for a hamburger.
Why twice the baking soda vs powder in this recipe and there is twice the baking powder vs soda in the bread recipe? Basically the same dough, no? same amount of outside acid in both recipes, (buttermilk and sour cream). BTW I sub kefir for both. Thanks, keep up the good work.
Both recipes have the same amount. Glad to know that the kefir works too! Thanks for sharing that.
Blown away with this this recipe! Super easy too! Thank you for all your hard work!
Again: Could you please list the mozzarella by weight?
I wonder if this dough would make cinnamon rolls?
Hi Don. Yes, it might work. If you want keto cinnamon rolls that are amazing try these.
i’ve been making these once a week since last Thanksgiving. They are now a staple in our keto house. My husband and i LOVE them!!!
Hi Annie,
I’ve been on the Keto diet for about 9 months. I made pancakes and a couple of breads which were barely edible. I made your rolls but I flattened them so I could use them for hamburgers or for bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches. The taste and consistency are like “normal” rolls!!! Not heavy, spongy or greasy! They are easy to make even though I don’t have a food processor.
I baked these for 15 minutes, they looked done and nice and brown, but after waiting 5 minutes & trying one it was a bit undone inside. Should have baked them for 18 minutes?
These are the best tasting rolls I have tried on GF/Keto & easy to make and when rolling the balls of dough it felt just like I was using a yeast-whole wheat flour recipe.
Glad you liked the flavor! Yes, bake longer at a lower temp, especially if your made bigger rolls
Hi, I have tried many bread recipes and like the other folks found these to be the best! I did add yeast like someone else mentioned and it worked great. One question I have for you is how is the best way to store these?
I’m so glad you liked the recipe. I store leftovers in the fridge or you can freeze them! To unthaw, just wrap in a paper towel and microwave for about 45 seconds or more
I just made some. They were very dark on the bottom practically burnt. I only baked them for 13 min @400. Any recommendations? They taste great other than that!
Are you baking them on parchment paper?
Hi Annie. Do you think these will make a good crust for a souffle? I’m trying to create a low carb version of Panera’s famous menu item. 🙂
Have you tried this crust? It’s my favorite: https://www.ketofocus.com/recipes/flaky-keto-pie-crust/
What if you are allergic to almond, what is a good replacement?
I haven’t tried it but sunflower seed flour measures cup for cup with almond flour and is nut free.
We love this recipe!! The big problem is that we cannot stop eating them… 🙂
I use whole mozzarella (not shredded) from Costco, which is sold at a great price!
Do you know what the weight would be, equivilant to the 3 cups?
Many thanks!
