I’ll never forget the first time I made Keto Rolls for my family. It was a chilly Sunday evening, and my spouse Mark was in the kitchen helping me roll out the dough while our kids, Emma and Lucas, giggled over who could shape the roundest bun.
We’d been trying to cut carbs, but I missed the comfort of warm bread at dinner. I stumbled upon a simple recipe using almond flour and cheese, and I thought, why not give it a try? As the rolls baked, the house filled with a cheesy, buttery aroma that drew everyone to the table.
Emma’s eyes lit up with the first bite, and Lucas declared them “better than regular bread!” Mark just smiled, knowing we’d found a keeper. That night, we didn’t just eat; we made a memory.

Step-by-Step with Emily: Making Keto Rolls
Let’s walk through the process of making these rolls. It’s straightforward, and with a few simple steps, you’ll have warm, delicious bread ready to serve.
- 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.
Emily’s Tried & True Cooking Tips
Here are some handy tips to ensure your Keto Rolls turn out perfect every time.
- Cheese Temperature: Let the melted cheese cool slightly before adding eggs to avoid scrambling them. This keeps the dough smooth.
- Baking Check: If the tops brown too fast, tent with foil after 15 minutes to prevent over-browning while they finish baking.
- Serve Warm: These rolls are best fresh from the oven. Reheat briefly if needed to maintain their soft texture.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are keto bagels really keto?
Yes, keto bagels can be considered truly keto if they are made with low-carb, high-fat ingredients like almond flour, coconut flour, or psyllium husk, which align with the ketogenic diet’s macronutrient ratios. When making Keto Rolls or bagels at home, always check the recipe for net carbs, ideally under 5g per serving.
Store-bought versions may vary, so read labels carefully to avoid hidden sugars or high-carb fillers that could disrupt ketosis.
Is keto bread actually 35 calories?
Keto bread, including Keto Rolls, is often advertised as having around 35 calories per slice, but this depends on the recipe or brand. Homemade Keto Rolls made with almond flour and eggs can be low-calorie if portioned small, but ingredients like cheese or butter can increase the count.
Always check nutritional info or calculate based on your ingredients. For accuracy, weigh portions and track macros to ensure it fits your keto goals.
Is keto bread really zero carbs?
No, keto bread, including Keto Rolls, is rarely zero carbs. Even with low-carb flours like almond or coconut flour, there are trace amounts of carbs present. Most keto recipes aim for 1-3g net carbs per serving after subtracting fiber.
When baking Keto Rolls at home, use a carb-tracking app to verify net carbs. Store-bought options may claim ‘zero carbs,’ but always read labels for accuracy and hidden ingredients.
Is keto bread healthier than white bread?
Keto bread, such as Keto Rolls, can be healthier than white bread for certain diets due to its low-carb, high-fat profile, often using nutrient-dense ingredients like almond flour or flaxseed. It avoids refined flour and sugar spikes, benefiting blood sugar control.
However, it’s calorie-dense, so portion control is key. For home cooks, baking Keto Rolls lets you customize ingredients, making them a potentially healthier choice over processed white bread.
Is Nature’s Own keto bread actually keto?
Nature’s Own Keto Bread is marketed as keto-friendly, with low net carbs (around 4g per slice) due to added fiber and alternative flours. It can fit into a keto diet, much like homemade Keto Rolls, but it’s not as strict as some homemade recipes.
Check your daily carb limit, as ingredients like wheat protein may not suit everyone. For purists, baking Keto Rolls at home offers full control over ingredients.
