Description

Imagine golden-brown crescents, their delicate curves hinting at the delightful textures within. These rolls offer a comforting warmth reminiscent of home-baked goodness, perfect for gracing your holiday table or adding a special touch to any meal. Each bite reveals a flaky, almost ethereal interior that melts in your mouth, contrasted by a satisfyingly crisp exterior that provides a gentle, welcome resistance.

The buttery flavor is rich and pronounced, creating a luxurious sensation that elevates the simplest of dishes. These rolls are incredibly versatile. Serve them alongside a hearty stew or roast, where they can eagerly soak up every last drop of flavorful gravy and sauce.

Their mild, inviting taste also makes them the perfect blank canvas for culinary experimentation. Envision them transformed into miniature pizzas, the doughy base supporting a vibrant layer of tomato sauce and melted mozzarella cheese, creating a delightful fusion of flavors and textures. Or, sprinkle them with your favorite seasonings before baking – the possibilities are endless.

A sprinkle of sesame seeds adds a nutty crunch and visual appeal, while garlic or herb-infused butter brushed over the warm rolls after baking delivers an aromatic and savory punch. The key to achieving that perfect flaky texture lies in keeping the dough chilled. This helps to prevent the butter from melting, ensuring that the rolls rise beautifully in the oven.

Working on a cool surface and using gentle, deliberate movements when shaping the dough will further enhance the final result. These rolls are more than just a side dish; they are an experience, a celebration of simple ingredients transformed into something truly special. They are an invitation to savor the moment, to gather around the table with loved ones and share in the joy of good food and good company.

Enjoy the simple pleasure of tearing off a piece of a warm, freshly baked roll and experiencing the delightful combination of textures and flavors. Each bite is a reminder that the best things in life are often the simplest.

Instructions

    1.
    In a large mixing bowl, sift together almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, salt, and garlic powder. Set the dry ingredients aside. Add cream cheese and shredded colby jack cheese in a small pot over low heat. Stir the ingredients as they melt, combining into one liquid cheese sauce. When the melted cheese is streak-free, remove it from the heat and let it cool for just about 30 seconds.
    2.
    Crack an egg into the warm cheese, and stir with a spatula or whisk until the egg and cheese mixture break up. Pour the lumpy mixture into the mixing bowl with the dry ingredients while it ’s still warm. Stir the ingredients together to combine into a sticky dough. Transfer the dough to a piece of plastic wrap, and knead the dough with the plastic to remove any streaks. Wrap the dough and shape it into a rectangular disc.
    3.
    Place the dough in your refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes to firm up. When you ’re ready to roll out the dough, turn on your oven to preheat to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll the dough out between two clean sheets of parchment paper or on a Silpat mat, if you own one. Unlike other Keto doughs, in this case, you can grease the dough instead of flouring it with a light spray of pan spray either on your rolling pin or directly onto the dough. Roll the dough into a 10”x6” rectangle.
    4.
    Use a sharp and clean knife or a round pizza cutter to slice the dough into 12 triangles with right angles. Trim any edges as necessary, or re-roll the dough if you need to. If the dough becomes too crumbly, you can return it to your refrigerator to chill back down. One by one, you ’ll roll each dough triangle into a crescent shape by beginning with the wide, right-angle of the triangle and ending at the narrow end. Gently press the end of the crescent roll against the dough so the corner stays in place during baking.
    5.
    Fix any edges with your fingers and arrange the crescent rolls on your baking sheet. Bake the crescents for 10 minutes, during which time you ’ll melt the butter in a small dish. Brush the butter over the crescents before returning them to the oven for an additional 10 minutes. If necessary, you can bake the rolls for longer to reach a golden brown color. Serve while warm and flaky.
