Instructions:
- Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. - Make the fathead dough:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth. - Mix the dough:
Add almond flour, egg, baking powder, garlic powder (if using), and salt to the melted cheese mixture. Mix well until a sticky dough forms. Knead the dough with your hands or a spatula until it’s smooth and well combined. - Shape the crescent rolls:
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a thin, circular shape (about 10 inches in diameter). Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice the dough into 8 triangles. Roll each triangle from the wide end to the narrow point, shaping them into crescents. - Bake:
Place the crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Brush the tops with melted butter. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown. - Cool and serve:
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Tips for Success:
- Work quickly with the dough: Fathead dough can be sticky and hardens as it cools, so roll and shape it while it’s still warm.
- Flour alternative: Use a little almond flour on your hands or rolling pin to prevent sticking.
- Flavor variations: Add shredded cheddar for a cheesy twist, or sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning for extra flavor.
These keto crescent rolls are buttery, tender, and wonderfully low-carb, making them a perfect addition to your keto meal plan. Whether you enjoy them plain or with your favorite keto-friendly spread, they’re sure to become a favorite!
