Ingredients

3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese 12 ounces
4 ounces cream cheese
2 large eggs at room temperature
2 cups almond flour spooned and leveled (ideally the "superfine blanched" version)
1/4 cup ground flaxseed meal spooned and leveled
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400F, and grease a 9"x13" baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, flaxseed meal, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Heat for 30 second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted (about 1 ½ minutes total). Once melted, quickly whisk in the eggs until mostly combined.
Mix the melted cheese mixture into the dry ingredients until a thick dough forms.
Knead the ball of dough until everything is very well incorporated and you have a soft and cohesive ball of dough, about 1-2 minutes.
Divid the dough into 12 equal portions, and roll each portion into a ball. Place into the prepared pan in a 3x4 grid.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the center of each roll is golden brown.
Remove the rolls from the oven and place the pan onto a wire cooling rack.
Optionally, brush each roll with melted butter. Allow rolls to cool completely before serving.

Notes

I use Bob's Red Mill Superfine Almond Flour (blanched)
Store in an airtight bag in the fridge for 4 days, or in the freezer for 3 months.
You can reheat in the microwave on 80% power in 20-second intervals.
You can grate your own cheese, but pre-shredded works well in this recipe.
To cut this recipe in half, bake the rolls in a loaf pan or a circle baking pan for 13-15 minutes.
You can also bake the rolls on a rimmed cookie sheet, just make sure to line it with parchment paper or grease it with cooking spray.
