Our Best Keto Dinner Rolls are a low carb alternative to traditional dinner rolls, with only a fraction of the carbs, making it perfect for those on a keto diet. These fluffy keto rolls are great for keto dinners, as sliders, or as a substitute for regular dinner rolls due to their fluffy texture and low-carb content.
Perfectly made, those low-carb and keto fiber bread rolls are incredibly delicious and irresistible to make. One look will convince you to try and make them right this moment. Without any doubt or guilt, they are always here.
Keto Bread Recipes
With an already extensive collection of bread recipes on our site, there are lots to choose from.
Our favorite farmers bread can be used for savory french toast, croutons, or some leftovers to make bread crumbs we always need.
On the other side, brioche bread is perfect for delicious french toast and our selection of flatbread variations such as tortillas, taco shells, or fiber tortillas for wraps in everyday life.
Keto Bread Rolls
Rolls or buns are great for a dinner party, as a sandwich or hamburger buns; therefore, those must be noticed here.
Our protein buns are great to make a breakfast sandwich, then we have biscuits, chaffles, and bagels, which are just another addition to mention.
The idea to Combine Two Recipes
As you see in our previous bread recipes, we have the farmer’s bread, which is just the best bread ever with a taste of traditional bread. But on the other side, we also have yogurt buns which are as perfect as bread is just super soft. They are just different textures and are used on different occasions.
I always have them in the freezer, and the whole family loves them.
From time to time, I thought of making something in between but never did anything about it.
Until I purchased the little Kaiser Rolls tiny shaper stamp gadget on Amazon.
My brain started working again, and then the idea came:
“What if I combine the two best recipes into one?”
Extra Fluffy Kaiser Rolls
If you have ever heard of Kaiser rolls (also called Vienna rolls), they originated in Austria.
As we live in Vienna, I see fluffy Kaiser rolls on every corner, in every baker’s shop. It would not be me if I did not try to produce the same look and feel but in a much healthier option.
And this little gadget lets you achieve exactly that. You can try and make it with your knife, but why?
Why when you have the gadgets?
Since I love the white flour-looking texture on top of the farmer’s bread, I knew that with this little gadget, I could achieve the same look for my new favorite keto fiber bread rolls.
But as original Kaiser rolls are soft and white from the inside, it reminded me so much of our yogurt buns.
I instantly knew mixing both recipes would be perfect for our keto roll recipe.
Once you make this recipe, you will realize that those rolls are fluffy, keto friendly, have the best texture, and are as delicious as no other.
Nutritional Information & Macros
As you see in the photos, those rolls are pretty big, and the carbs will surprise you. One whole bun has 7 grams of total carbs and 7 grams of fiber.
You will get a total of 0 net carbs per serving. Awesome?
Even better news is the ingredients involved. Lots and lots of fiber and protein. That is at the end of what we are always looking for. And those beauties will give you exactly that.
I have made 11 good-sized rolls out of the entire recipe, which is what the calculation is for. If you are planning to make small rolls, your carbs per roll would be even lower.
What is the Key Ingredient in Keto Bread Rolls?
Apart from the simple ingredients we always use, one might surprise you.
It is fiber. Oat fiber, exactly. It is a flour I love dearly and have already used in many oat fiber recipes.
What Fiber to use in our Best Keto Dinner Rolls Recipe?
As we first made our farmer’s bread with potato fiber, I have done the same here.
Only later have I realized this is not freely available in the US.
But so many of our readers did not let themselves down and tried it with fibers available in the US. The most popular and closest to the potato fiber is oat fiber, and everyone has agreed you get the same results.
I have also decided to purchase oat fiber and make those rolls with both fibers to see the outcome.
I can fully agree with our readers and suggest using either.
And as dietary fiber is so needed in our lifestyle, here are just some details about them.
What is Potato Fiber?
Potato fiber has been around for quite a long time. It is a trending healthy ingredient used mainly in Europe, especially Sweden and Germany, to replace flour in various delicious low carb or keto goodies.
The texture of potato fiber is very similar to whole wheat flour. A bit darker from the color but also pretty dry.
Even though it is made from potatoes, a complete NO-NO in our lifestyle, it does not raise sugar and provides you with a total dosage of necessary fiber.
What is Oat Fiber?
Oat fiber, like potato fiber, is an insoluble fiber from the non-digestible oat hull.
It is a perfect binding agent with other low-carb or keto flour varieties, such as coconut or almond flour.
Once used in the recipes, keep in mind that both fibers soak up lots of liquid, and recipes need to be altered.
Benefits of Potato or Oat Fibers:
Both fibers are, in general insoluble dietary fibers, used mostly for:
- enrichment of fiber in our diet
- reducing the calories in food
- carbohydrate reduction
- creates less fat absorption while frying
- works as a perfect water-binding solution
- is Glutenfree
- GMO-Free
- allergen Free
- replacement of gluten in baking goods
- excellent for digestion
- weight management
- keeps your blood sugar in the stable levels

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS TO BEST KETO BREAD ROLLS
First step: Prepare Ingredients
Prepare all of your ingredients. Having your eggs at room temperature is best to get the extra stiff peak with your egg whites.
Second step: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a glass bowl, add all the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Set aside.
Third step: Whisk Egg Whites
First, whisk your egg white until it stiff peaks using a kitchen machine and set aside. this will help in having your kaiser rolls extra fluffy.
Fourth step: Whisk Egg Yolks and Wet Ingredients
Whisk egg yolks and add yogurt and all of the wet ingredients. Give it a full mix.
Fifth step: Add Dry Ingredients, Mix, and Rest
Once all of the wet ingredients have been thoroughly mixed, start adding spoon by spoon your dry mixture. Keep your machine on as it will continue mixing all ingredients.
Once that is done, reduce the speed to a minimum and start adding the egg white mixture you have on the side. Mix half into the mixture and stop.
Take the bowl out from the machine, and the second half of the egg whites fold gently using a spatula.
Cover it with a kitchen towel and let it rest for approximately half an hour.
Preheat your oven to 150 degrees Celsius or 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
Sixth step: Shape
Using your hand, start shaping your keto dough into buns. Bare in mind that they will still get bigger once baked, and therefore try to keep enough space in between.
Roll them into balls and place them on a baking sheet with silicone or parchment paper. Using your hand, gently flatten them into a bun shape.
Seventh step: Sprinkle, Design and Bake
To get the perfect look of authentic kaiser rolls, sprinkle a tiny bit of your fiber on top of each bun.
Now comes the best part. Using a kaiser shape, gently stamp each of your buns to get that famous look.
Place into the oven and bake the rolls for 40 minutes at 150 Celsius or 300 degrees Fahrenheit until golden brown.
Tips to make keto dinner rolls
- Almond flour – can be replaced with grained almonds or almond meal.
- Eggs – are best at room temperature to get the extra fluffiness inside your soft and fluffy bun.
- Oil – instead, you can use coconut oil or melted butter.
- Fiber – as I have already mentioned, potato and oat fiber can be used in this recipe.
- Yogurt – can be swapped with cream cheese, farmers’ cheese, cottage cheese, or sour cream.
- Herbs – add Italian seasoning, garlic powder for garlic dinner rolls, or your favorite spices for extra flavor.
- Cheese – the great idea is to add mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, or shredded cheese on top of the bun before baking.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
What To Serve With Low Carb Bread Rolls?
As our bread rolls are great for breakfast and dinner, you can use them as sweet or savory.
Some ideas to top them up with are:
Not really. Coconut flour for keto baking has an entirely different texture, measurements, flavor, and taste.
But if you want to try, it usually is 1/4 of the amount of almond flour. I don’t know how it will work in this recipe as I have not tried it.
Can I use Cream Cheese instead of Yogurt?
You can swap yogurt and use softened cream cheese, farmers cheese, cottage cheese, or sour cream.
How do you Store those Gluten Free Keto Rolls?
All of our pieces of bread, buns, or rolls are made from fresh ingredients; therefore, they only last for a short time.
Far the best advice I can give once you have made the rolls is:
- Once you bake them, allow the rolls to cool thoroughly.
- Keep them out for a short time. They will not survive. Keep them for a maximum of 2-3 days.
- The best option is to keep whatever you need for the next two days.
- Leftover rolls place into the freezer.
- Take the amount you need for the next day and let it thaw overnight.
Can you Freeze Keto Fiber Bread Rolls?
As with every single bread recipe I make, I always keep it in the freezer for the future.
I am not the type of person who bakes in small amounts daily; therefore, if I bake, I double or triple any of the recipes. Then I separate them into smaller batches and place them in the Ziploc bag. This is the best way to store any bread.
DIY Airtight Vacuum Sealer:
How do you take the air out of Ziplock Bag for freezing?
I don’t know if you have seen that trick of taking the air from any ziplock bag with goods ready to freeze.
If not, I will try to describe it.
- Take a ziplock bag and place whatever food you need to freeze.
- Close it to about 80%
- Where it is not yet closed, place a straw inside, preferably a hard one or a metal one.
- Close the Ziplock around the straw, leaving the only tiny hole where the strawy is.
- With your mouth, suck all of the air from the ziplock bag, slowly pulling the straw away from the bag.
- Once you are satisfied and there is no more air inside the bag, take one more deep breath and quickly take out the straw while zip-locking the rest of the bag.
- That’s all. A homemade airtight vacuum sealer is born.
