Keto Dinner Rolls

Ingredients

• 8 ounces Cream Cheese (block, not spreadable, no additives, room temperature)
• 3 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (low moisture, part-skim, no additives or preservatives)
• 4 Large Eggs (at room temperature)
• 4 tablespoons Aluminum-Free Baking Powder
• 1 ⅓ cups Almond Flour (finely ground, we use Bob’s Red Mill brand)
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter (for greasing the skillet)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Melt the cream cheese and mozzarella cheese together. You can do this either in a small pot over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and resembling a thick, gooey paste, or in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until completely melted and smooth.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted cheese mixture, baking powder, almond flour, and eggs. Mix well until a smooth dough forms. If the dough is too sticky to handle, add 1-2 tablespoons of almond flour until the desired consistency is reached.
4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for 10-20 minutes. Chilling the dough makes it easier to handle and shape.
5. Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Lightly wet or grease your hands to prevent sticking, and roll the dough into 24 equal-sized balls for smaller rolls or 12 for larger rolls.
6. Place the rolled dough balls back into the refrigerator and chill for at least another 10 minutes. This helps the rolls maintain their shape during baking.
7. Grease a 10.5″ cast iron skillet with the 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, ensuring the bottom and sides are evenly coated. Alternatively, you can use any oven-safe skillet, cake pan, or ceramic baking dish.
8. Arrange the dough balls in the prepared skillet, placing them close together so that they are touching slightly on each side.
9. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are fluffy, golden brown, and cooked through. To check for doneness insert a toothpick into the center of a roll; it should come out clean.
10. Remove the skillet from the oven and let the rolls cool for about 15 minutes before serving. This allows them to set slightly.
11. Serve warm and enjoy!
