6. How to Make Our Cheesy Stuffed Garlic Bread Rolls
1. Melt the cheeses
Microwave the mozzarella and cream cheese in a bowl for 45–60 seconds. Stir until smooth. This forms the base of your keto/low-carb dough.
2. Form the dough
Add almond flour, egg, and baking powder. Mix with a spatula, then knead by hand until the dough becomes soft and cohesive.
3. Prepare the filling
In a small bowl, combine mozzarella, parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. This gives the rolls their cheesy, high-protein center.
4. Shape the rolls
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Flatten each piece, add a spoonful of filling, and pinch the edges to seal into balls.
5. Bake
Place on a lined baking tray. Brush or spray lightly with the garlic-butter mixture.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 14–17 minutes, or until golden and puffy.
6. Finish
Brush with remaining garlic topping and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.

8. Tips & FAQs (SEO-Optimized)
Can I make these rolls dairy-free or nut-free?
For nut-free, replace almond flour with sunflower seed flour. Dairy-free versions won’t achieve the same texture, as the recipe depends on melted cheese.
What’s the best cheese for keto and high-protein?
Part-skim mozzarella delivers the most protein while keeping calories low.
Why is my dough too sticky?
Add 1–2 extra tablespoons of almond flour. Keto dough can vary based on cheese moisture.
Can I make these in an air fryer?
Yes. Air fry at 350°F for 10–12 minutes until golden and set.
Can I add extra flavors?
Absolutely—chili flakes, Italian seasoning, or rosemary boost flavor without adding carbs.
