This versatile keto-friendly Fathead Dough can be used for rolls, pizza crust, bagels, breadsticks, buns or a mini bread loaf, and so much more! All of these versions have a cheese base of cream cheese and shredded cheese that is melted and then the rest of the ingredients are customized per type of recipe you’re making. Also, how the rest of the ingredients are mixed in can change the dough such as the bagel dough that is kneaded or pulsed in a food processor.

Fathead Dough for Rolls (version 1)
This version is really great for making sandwiches or to have on the side of a meal. Crunchy on the outside and softer on the inside (thanks to the cream cheese) these are yummy anytime! The recipe can be found here on How To… This and That’s website.
Fathead Dough for Rolls (version 2)
If you’re like me and don’t have a cast iron pan, these can be made in a pyrex, spring form pan, or even on a sheet pan (just know that the outside edges will brown and crisp more if they don’t have an edge to protect them from the heat of the oven). Because they bake side-by-side only the top and bottoms will toast and the rest of the rolls be left soft and moist. Great as a side with a meal, salad, and especially delicious with a bowl of soup. The recipe can be found here from Cast Iron Keto.
