– 1½ cups finely ground almond flour
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 2 large eggs
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– ½ teaspoon onion powder
– ½ teaspoon salt

– 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
For the garlic butter topping:
– 2 tablespoons melted butter
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
– 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
👩‍🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the oven

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a baking dish.

Step 2: Blend the cottage cheese

Add cottage cheese to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Prepare the cheese mixture

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt mozzarella in short intervals until soft and stretchy. Allow it to cool slightly.

Step 4: Mix the ingredients

In a large bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and Italian seasoning.

Add blended cottage cheese, eggs, and melted mozzarella. Mix until a soft dough forms. Fold in fresh parsley.

Step 5: Shape the rolls

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. With slightly damp hands, shape each portion into a round roll.

Arrange the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.

Step 6: Prepare garlic butter

Mix melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley in a small bowl.

Step 7: Brush the rolls

Brush the tops of the rolls with garlic butter. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired.

Step 8: Bake

Bake for approximately 20–25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9: Serve

Allow the rolls to cool for 5 minutes. Brush with a little extra garlic butter and serve warm!

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)
Q1: Are these cottage cheese garlic rolls keto-friendly?

Yes! They use almond flour instead of regular wheat flour and are relatively low in carbohydrates.

Q2: Are these rolls completely sugar-free?

They contain no added sugar. However, cottage cheese and other dairy ingredients naturally contain small amounts of sugar.

Q3: Can I make these rolls without almond flour?

This particular recipe is designed for almond flour. Replacing it with coconut flour requires different quantities because coconut flour absorbs much more liquid.

Q4: Can I use low-fat cottage cheese?

Absolutely! Both low-fat and full-fat cottage cheese work.

Q5: Do I need to blend the cottage cheese?

Blending is highly recommended. It removes the curds and creates a smoother, more uniform dough.

Q6: Can I prepare the dough ahead of time?

Yes. You can prepare the dough and refrigerate it briefly before shaping and baking. If it becomes too firm, let it soften slightly.

Q7: How do I store leftover garlic rolls?

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Q8: Can I freeze these rolls?

Yes! Allow them to cool completely, place in a freezer-safe container, and freeze for up to 2 months.

Q9: How do I reheat them?

Reheat in an oven at 325°F (165°C) for about 5–8 minutes, or until warmed through. Add a little garlic butter before serving.

Q10: Can I make these rolls without mozzarella?

Mozzarella helps bind the dough and gives it a soft, stretchy texture. Removing it will require adjusting the recipe.

Q11: Can I add extra cheese?

Yes! A little cheddar, Parmesan, or Italian cheese blend makes these rolls even more flavorful.

Q12: What can I serve with cottage cheese garlic rolls?

They pair wonderfully with tomato soup, creamy chicken soup, salads, grilled chicken, pasta dishes, and roasted vegetables.
