Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Wet Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Garlic Butter Topping
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, ground flaxseed, parmesan cheese, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to distribute all dry ingredients evenly.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the egg, shredded mozzarella, and melted butter to the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms, which may be slightly sticky but manageable.
- Form Rolls: Using your hands, shape the dough into small individual rolls, roughly the size of a golf ball. Place each roll spaced evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake Rolls: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown on top and feel firm to the touch when gently pressed.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: While the rolls bake, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
- Brush Rolls: Immediately after removing the rolls from the oven, use a brush to coat the tops with the warm garlic butter mixture, enhancing flavor and adding a beautiful shine.
Notes
- For fluffier rolls, ensure the baking powder is fresh and not expired.
- These rolls are best enjoyed warm but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- You can substitute parmesan cheese with pecorino or another hard cheese if preferred.
- To make dairy-free, replace cheeses with vegan alternatives and use coconut oil instead of butter for the garlic topping.
- Ground flaxseed adds fiber and helps bind the dough but can be omitted if unavailable, though texture may vary.
