In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, minced garlic and chopped parsley. Brush on top of the keto dough.
-
Bake
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until pull apart keto rolls are golden brown.
This was really good and easy to put together for a weeknight dinner. I liked that it didn’t use cauliflower like some other keto recipes
just made this. it was good. but, i have a couple questions…1) i dont have a food processor so used my hand mixer…how do you keep the melted mozzarella soft long enough to incorporate? 2) my keto rolls were soft inside (maybe a little moist). did i do something wrong? any advice appreciated
I usually have all of my ingredients measured out and ready to combine before I mix everything. You could microwave the cheese right before you add it or I have even re-microwaved it before adding it. If the dough was still a little soft, they might have been too big or thick or you could try lowering the oven temperature a bit and cooking them longer.
I can’t eat pepperoni , so what do you think about making it hawaiian ?
you could do that – the pineapple will have some sugar in it but you can limit the pieces you put in
I made this tonight and it was delicious! I added more pepperoni and some cooked sausage cause 3oz of pepperoni was not enough for me 😉
I’m going to try making the pull apart rolls by themselves, they were so good
Husband gave this recipe a once-a-week must-have meal. He’s so hard to please.
Can this recipe be frozen and cooked later?
I haven’t tried that yet, but I think it would work. Let me know if you try it.
