What You\u2019ll Need<\/div>\n
Makes 12 rolls, \u223c2g net carbs each<\/div>\n
For the dough:<\/div>\n
1 1\/2 cups shredded mozzarella – low moisture, part skim<\/div>\n
2 oz cream cheese – softened<\/div>\n
3\/4 cup blanched almond flour – superfine<\/div>\n
1 tbsp baking powder – for the rise<\/div>\n
1 large egg – room temp works best<\/div>\n
1\/2 tsp garlic powder – dough needs flavor too<\/div>\n
For the cheesy garlic top:<\/div>\n
3 tbsp butter, melted – salted<\/div>\n
1 tsp garlic powder – or 2 cloves minced<\/div>\n
1 tsp dried parsley or Italian seasoning – for those green flecks<\/div>\n
1 cup shredded cheddar + mozzarella mix – for the melty top like the image<\/div>\n
How to Make It<\/div>\n
Step 1: Make fathead dough<\/div>\n
Preheat oven to 375\u00b0F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Microwave mozzarella and cream cheese 60 seconds. Stir until smooth. Add almond flour, baking powder, egg, and garlic powder. Mix until a dough forms.<\/div>\n
Step 2: Roll the balls<\/div>\n
Divide dough into 12 pieces. Roll each into a ball with oiled hands so they don\u2019t stick. Place them in the pan with a little space between each.<\/div>\n
Step 3: Garlic butter time<\/div>\n
Mix melted butter, garlic powder, and half the parsley. Brush half of it over the tops of the dough balls.<\/div>\n
Step 4: Cheese it up<\/div>\n
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar + mozzarella mix generously over all the rolls. Make sure it gets in the cracks.<\/div>\n
Step 5: Bake<\/div>\n
Bake 18-22 minutes until rolls are golden brown, puffed, and the cheese on top is bubbly and toasted like the photo.<\/div>\n
Step 6: Finish<\/div>\n
Brush with remaining garlic butter and sprinkle rest of the parsley right out of the oven. Let cool 5 minutes so they set up.<\/div>\n
Pro Tips to Level Up<\/div>\n
Extra pull: Stuff a small cube of mozzarella inside each dough ball before rolling. Cheese surprise in the middle.<\/div>\n
Crispier tops: Broil 1 minute at the end. Watch it close so it doesn\u2019t burn.<\/div>\n
Flavor twist: Add 2 tbsp grated parmesan to the cheese mix for a saltier, nuttier crust.<\/div>\n
Make ahead: Assemble in the pan, cover, and fridge overnight. Bake 3 extra minutes from cold.<\/div>\n
Serving move: Put the whole pan on the table and let everyone tear off their own. That\u2019s the point.<\/div>\n
