Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Ketogenic
Serves: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella cheese and melted butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the cheese is completely melted and smooth.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, salt, and baking powder until well combined.
- Add the eggs to the dry ingredient mixture and mix thoroughly. Then gradually incorporate the melted cheese and butter mixture, stirring until a cohesive dough forms.
- Let the dough rest for 5 minutes to allow the flours to absorb moisture and become more manageable.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a triangular shape, starting wide at one end and tapering to a point.
- Carefully roll each triangle from the wide end to the pointed end, creating a crescent shape. Place each roll on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
- Optional: Brush the tops of the rolls with additional melted butter and sprinkle with extra garlic powder for enhanced flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Serve warm and enjoy your keto-friendly buttery garlic crescent rolls!
Tips
- Cheese Melting Technique: Be patient when melting the mozzarella and butter. Use short microwave intervals and stir frequently to prevent burning.
- Dough Consistency is Key: If the dough feels too sticky, wet your hands slightly or let it rest for an extra minute to absorb moisture.
- Shaping Hack: Use a piece of parchment paper to help roll out and shape your crescents if you're finding the dough tricky to handle.
- Flavor Boost: Don't skip the optional butter brush and extra garlic powder on top - it takes these rolls from good to absolutely irresistible!
- Storage Tip: These rolls are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat briefly in the oven to restore their crispy texture.
- Precision Matters: Use a kitchen scale for measuring ingredients to ensure the perfect low-carb ratio, especially with almond and coconut flours.
