One of my favorite bread items growing up were German “Käsebrötchen,” aka cheese bread rolls. Occasionally, we would buy them fresh from the bakery. I couldn’t get enough of the crispy cheese on top and the soft, cheese bread inside. They made the perfect school-lunch, breakfast, or snack!

I’ve been meaning to develop a grain-free, keto-friendly version for a while, and now I finally have! These KETO Cheese rolls are just like my childhood bread rolls, except even BETTER because they don’t raise my blood sugar! I made the dough with Greek yogurt and olive oil for a super fluffy roll that you will want to eat any time of the day.

Tips for making the best Keto Cheese Rolls!
Xanthan gum and psyllium husk. Grain-free, keto bread is free of gluten, but of course we still want that chewiness that we know from traditional bread. Therefore, I use both xanthan gum and psyllium husk for a bread-like texture without the carbs.
Cheese. My favorite cheese (as you may know) is Gouda. I just love its nutty flavor. For my rolls, I use Gouda. It adds a delicious flavor to bread rolls. However, feel free to try other kinds of cheese, like cheddar or even Mozzarella (or even a combination of different types of cheeses!).
Shaping. To shape the dough, divide it into 6 parts, and roll them into balls. To avoid the dough sticking to your fingers, wet your hands slightly. I like keeping a small bowl of water next to my working area.
Topping. Brush each bread roll with an egg wash and sprinkle with grated cheese. Alternatively, you can also dip each brushed roll in a bowl of grated cheese.
Enjoy the CHEESIEST bread roll!

Hi Ludmila,
The cheese rolls look so yummy. I was just wondering if they could also
be done in the air fryer instead of the oven?
Thanks.
I actually haven’t tried that out, yet. If you want to give this a try though, do let me know if it works!
Hi Donna. I always bake everything on my air fryer. You can do at 150-160c. Let’s do 25 mins first and then check if it need more time. I hope it helpful.
Made these today, they are so delicious! I’m new to keto and was worried that these rolls would taste of almonds, but I was wrong! Super cheesy, light and fluffy. I used a mixture of mature cheddar and mozzarella. So good! These are my new favourite and I will definitely be making them again!
Thank you for sharing!! Glad you gave them a try.
OH MY MY MY!!
This is the most moist and delicious keto roll I have had the pleasure to make and enjoy! I have shared the recipe with my sister in the Lord and she will try the recipe as well!
I also make your zucchini tortillas recipe every week and eat 1 roll a morning with egg salad and lettuce on it.. It is scrumptious too!
I have been on keto for about 7 years now and in the beginning I weighed 190 pounds (5 ft tall) back then and when I went on keto within 3 months I was down to 110 pounds and I stay within 107 -110 lbs in summer, and 112-114 lbs in winter. I ride my bike on trails when weather permits. I am 70 years old! HalleluYAH! God is so merciful and good! God bless you and your channel Ludmilla! Chosen Julia
Julia, thank you so much for your lovely comment! So glad that you have found here a few recipes that you like. These rolls are one of my favorites too!.
And what an amazing weight loss! Wonderful that you are able to maintain it, too.
God is good!
Thank you too my sister in the Lord for your kind reply and scrumptious recipes!
I pray your day is filled with joy in our Lord’s goodness!
Fabulous! I made these tonight (had to make one substitution because I didn’t have yogurt so I subbed out a mix of ricotta and sour cream). Next time I will follow your recipe exactly to see if it makes a difference. Thank you for a great recipe. New fan.
Thank you! Glad you could make it work with your substitution!
This is a great recipe. So soft. I make it as 4 buns. I realise the carb count will be higher per roll. Butbit makes a great tasting bun for a burger also.
Glad to hear you like them! They are probably my favorite rolls 😃

Thank you! Good to know that they work with sour cream, too!
i don’t have almond milk on hand. can you use whole milk or coconut milk?
Yes, for sure! I have even made them with kefir before 😉
Hi Ludmila, I hope you’re well. I’d love to know how you’d make an easy Rye bread with the caraway seeds.
