Keto Flax Bread – low-carb dinner rolls made with simple ingredients, loaded with fiber. A version for the popular fathead dough, but with the addition of ground flax. Soft, flavorful and easy to make. Perfect as sandwich buns, to serve with salads and soups. Naturally gluten-free.
Being on a low-carb diet, I do miss my bread! Not so much other forms of carbs, but warm, crusty bread with some butter. I grew up eating bread and from time to time I really would love to have some or even bake it myself.
This is why, I’ve made it a priority to test as many different low carb bread recipes and find the perfect one, that I love. Some Keto breads are eggy, others are dry, some are too moist and oily.
I’ve gotten a great feedback for my Keto bread, baked in ramekins and this is by far my favorite low-carb bread recipe, but I wanted to create delicious bread rolls, that are not too soft or too dry and not as tender as my Keto Ramekin Bread, that could be baked in the microwave or in the oven. I’m also preparing a recipe collection of some of my favorite Keto Bread Recipes from around the web. Keep in mind, they are all different. By the way, I also used to be a huge fan of ezekiel flax bread.

How to make low-carb bread rolls with flax?
-
In a bowl combine the mozzarella, cream cheese and butter. Microwave on high for 1 minute to melt (alternatively heat over a double boiler or in a small saucepan directly on the heat to melt).
-
Stir cheeses and butter together.
-
In a separate bowl combine the almond flour, Xanthan gum, salt and baking powder.
-
In a third small bowl combine the egg, flax meal and water. Beat to combine.
-
Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Combine melted cheeses, almond flour and egg and flax mixture in the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat for 1-2 minutes, until everything is incorporated. You can mix everything together by hand as well.
-
Wet your hands and gather the dough. Divide into 6 parts and roll into balls.
-
Place on the baking sheet and flatten slightly. Top with sesame seeds (optional).
-
Bake for 12 minutes until golden. Cool at room temperature.
- Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Make sure you don’t over bake the bread rolls and that they are all the same size, so they bake together to the same doneness.
Keto Bread Rolls Toppings:
I topped these gluten-free rolls with sesame seeds, but you can use other toppings of your choice, like Everything But Bagel Seasoning, Sea Salt, Dehydrated onions or dried herbs.

Looks so delicious and perfect for a healthy dinner ♥
I made this for Christmas dinner and turned out everyone like them not just Keto me! Making a second time and freezing some for me to have for lunches.
I made this recipe, it tasted really good but mine did not cook through in the middle even after baking a little longer. I wonder why? My husband did not  mind it and still loved them though lol. He is on keto, I’m not. If I could fix it for this for next time it would be perfect just like non keto bread.  By the way, Thank you for your recipe! 🙂
Honestly, sometimes (rarely ) this happens to me, too. It is important to bake for slightly longer and let the bread cool inside the oven (you can open the door slightly). Also I’ve heard form other people, that this happens when you mix the dough, but don’t bake it right away.
