Best Low Carb Keto Bread buns or rolls made from Fathead dough
Ingredients for Keto Low carb bread buns:
1 and 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
3 TBS cream cheese
1 egg
1 tsp baking powder
 
Optional ingredients:
1 tsp spices like, dried oregano, basil, garlic powder
 
For topping:
Everything but the bagel seasoning or seasoning of your choice
Gluten Free and low carb Keto bread buns
 

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
  2. Microwave Mozzarella and cream cheese in a bowl until soft, about 40 seconds.
  3. Add egg, Almond flour, remaining ingredients, and spices. Stir and blend well using a spatula, into a dough ball.
  4. Optional – you can proceed right away but for best results – let the mixture cool or freeze it for 30 minutes or else the dough may be sticky
  5. Divide the dough into 6 parts. Form an even ball with each piece by rolling with your hands, then press gently with your fingers to make a circle shape on the lined baking sheet.
  6. Sprinkle “Everything but the bagel seasoning” or sesame seeds over the breads and gently press into the dough. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until the buns are firm and golden.
  7. Serve fresh out of the oven, sliced in half and top with your favorite meats, cheeses, burger or veggies.

I enjoyed mine as a sandwich with honey sliced turkey, lettuce mayo and tomato – fresh out of the oven – DELICIOUS!
Recipe notes:
1. Leftovers (if any left) can be left at room temperature for 2-3 days or can be refrigerated for up to a week
2. Leftovers can be frozen as well – if freezing leftovers, slice the bun ahead of time. When ready to reheat, place in the toaster or air fryer and toast for 1 minute.
3. If you have a nut allergy, you can substitute for Gluten-free baking flour instead or Sunflower seed flour (meal) or CarbQuick baking mix
3a. I have also seen other people have baked these with protein powder, instead of Almond flour ( but I have not tried this myself)
4. If you don’t have a microwave, melting ingredients on stove top will work too.
5. Try these keto low carb buns as a bagel option with cream cheese – works amazing!

  1. Just curious, where does the missing 11.1 g of fat come from, if not saturated, poly or monounsaturated? I assume not trans but know of no other.
