Step-by-Step: Mastering Keto Rolls with Nolan
Let’s walk through the process of making Keto Rolls. This straightforward method ensures perfect results every time, even for beginners.
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large, microwave safe bowl, add your shredded cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for 30 seconds, or until the cheeses have mostly melted. Remove from the microwave and whisk together, until smooth. Let the cheese cool for several minutes.
- When the cheese has cooled slightly, add in the almond flour and two of the eggs, and mix well, until a smooth dough remains.
- Using your hands, form 10 balls of dough. Place them on the lined tray. Whisk the remaining egg and using a pastry brush, brush the exterior of each of the rolls.
- Bake the rolls for 25 minutes, or until golden on the outside. Serve warm.
Nolan’s No-Nonsense Cooking Tips
Here are some practical tips to make your rolls turn out amazing every time.
- Cheese Cooling: Let the melted cheese cool slightly before adding eggs. Too hot, and you’ll end up with scrambled eggs instead of dough.
- Baking Check: If the tops brown too fast, tent with foil after 15 minutes. This keeps them golden without burning.
- Serve Warm: These rolls are best fresh from the oven. If they cool too much, they can get dense, so reheat before eating.
Flavor Hacks & Easy Variations for Keto Rolls

- Herb Infusion: Mix dried rosemary or thyme into the dough for an earthy flavor that pairs well with soups.
