Mini keto bread rolls are sliced in half and slathered with a garlic butter and grated cheese for a delicious side dish or appetiser.
One of the hardest parts of following a low carb diet is saying farewell to bread. With these tasty keto garlic bread rolls you can say a big “hello” and a “don’t mind if I do”. They psyllium husk powder give the bread rolls the elasticity that normal bread can have. It also means that they are low in carbs as well as gluten free.
WHY ARE MY KETO BREAD ROLLS PURPLE?
When baking with psyllium husk powder results can vary between brands and some will make the breads appear with a purple hue. This does not affect the taste of the bread. As with most baking, different products can yield different results.
I found these garlic bread rolls very filling and a hearty dish by themselves. Garlic bread is often served as an appetiser or as a side. I enjoyed a couple of these with a hearty bowl of zucchini basil soup. Garlic and cheese dipped into a creamy basil soup was utterly delicious.
CAN I USE ALMOND FLOUR FOR KETO GARLIC ROLLS?
If you don’t want to use coconut flour for these garlic bread rolls you can happily use almond flour. I would advise that you change the quantity to 1 ½ cups almond flour in place of the coconut flour in this recipe.
I used grated Mozzarella for the cheese topping but Cheddar cheese would be a great replacement. Or you could use a blend of cheeses. Make sure that the cheese melts well. Without the cheese, these garlic bread rolls are still very delicious. To quote a British comedy show, “Garlic bread. It’s the future”.

Hi Angela, I love your recipes, thank you!
Just noticed on the introduction to this recipe though, you say ‘high in carbs as well as gluten free’. Is that a mistake for ‘low in carbs?’
Angela Coleby
opps! Thanks for letting me know!
Bharat
Can I use full egg instead of only whites?
Angela Coleby
Yes you could. I used egg whites to stop the bread tasting too "eggy"
Judy Morin
For the bread topping: wouldn't fresh garlic be a better choice than garlic powder?
Angela Coleby
You could happily use it. I was out of garlic when I made these!
