FAQs
1. Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
Coconut flour has different absorbency than almond flour, so it’s not a 1:1 substitute. If you use coconut flour, you’ll need to adjust the amount and add more moisture.
2. Can I make these rolls dairy-free?
Yes, you can substitute the butter and cheese with dairy-free alternatives like plant-based butter and dairy-free cheese to make them completely dairy-free.
3. Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance, shape the rolls, and store them in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking them fresh.
4. How do I know when the rolls are done?
The rolls are done when they are golden brown on top and firm to the touch. You can also insert a toothpick into the center to check for doneness—it should come out clean.
5. Can I use a different type of cheese?
Yes! You can use cheddar, gouda, or any other cheese that melts well. Parmesan gives these rolls a nice, salty bite, but feel free to experiment with other cheeses for a different flavor.
6. Can I add more garlic?
Absolutely! If you’re a garlic lover, feel free to increase the amount of garlic in the dough and/or the garlic butter for extra flavor.
7. Can I freeze the dough before baking?
Yes, you can freeze the dough before baking. Just shape the rolls, place them on a baking sheet to freeze them individually, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
8. Can I make these rolls without flaxseed?
Yes, you can skip the flaxseed if you don’t have it, but it does add to the texture. You could try substituting it with chia seeds or even ground psyllium husk for a similar effect.
9. How can I make these rolls fluffier?
For fluffier rolls, consider adding an additional teaspoon of baking powder or incorporating a small amount of baking soda with a dash of vinegar.
10. How can I make these rolls more savory?
For a savory twist, add finely chopped herbs like rosemary, thyme, or parsley to the dough for extra flavor.
