Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (about 200g), preferably part-skim
  • 2 ounces cream cheese (56g), softened
  • 1 cup almond flour (96g), blanched and finely ground
  • 1 tablespoon psyllium husk powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or herbs

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: soften cream cheese to room temperature and measure shredded mozzarella and almond flour (about 5 minutes).
  2. Melt the cheeses: combine shredded mozzarella and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 45 seconds, stir, then continue in 15-second bursts until fully melted and smooth (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Mix dry ingredients: whisk together almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, salt, and optional garlic powder or herbs in a separate bowl.
  4. Combine wet and dry: add dry mix to melted cheese mixture, crack in the egg, and mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until a sticky dough forms (3-5 minutes). Adjust with more almond flour if too sticky or a teaspoon of water if too dry.
  5. Shape the rolls: wet your hands and divide dough into 8 equal portions (about 2 oz or 60g each). Roll into balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Optional proofing: let rolls rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to help rise.
  7. Bake: preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake rolls for 15-18 minutes until golden and firm to the touch.
  8. Cool slightly: remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm.

Notes

Do not overheat the cheese when melting to avoid oily or grainy dough. Use psyllium husk powder for best texture. Wet hands when shaping rolls to prevent sticking. Let rolls rest after baking to avoid gummy texture. Optional brushing with melted butter after baking adds shine and flavor.
