Tools to Make Fathead Rolls
Silicone Mat – a good quality and good size silicone mat is one of the best tools in the kitchen. Use it to wrap foods to keep warm or develop yeast. Roll dough on it or bake on it.
Baking Trays – I choose to have just a few large baking trays that are the same size as my oven shelves. This way I can use each shelf to its maximum capacity. The lighter the colour the better conductor of heat.
Silicone Spatula – throw away those toxic old plastics and get silicone. Most are a one piece silicone spatula that is safe to use to mix or on a hot stove.

Have done this as is but have also done it w melted butter and a sugar substitute mixed w cinnamon and it was amazingly. Today I’m trying it spread w cream cheese and a raspberry cranberry chia jam. Fingers crossed!

I made these today, they were so good! I added some pizza sauce (keto of course) and some finely chopped capsicum. -
Not everyone has a microwave and it’s really frustrating when the the video doesn’t work. Are they compatible with iPads & MacBooks ?

Hi Faye, thanks for your feedback. The reason you could not see the video is because you are logged in as a member and the videos in our blog post s from an ad-network that we load our video to. I have added the video in the recipe card now so you can see it. It is connected directly to YouTube. The cheese can also be melted in a large bowl over a pot of simmering water. I have added the note into the recipe card as well.

could you use gaur gum in place of the xanthan gum? I don’t have any on hand and would really like to make these as they look delish!!
-
I haven’t tried it Robin. Guar gum is usually reserved for cold foods not baked.

Have you ever added fresh herbs or dried herbs to the dough? -

Hi! I use to melt the cream cheese with mozzarella in a non stick fry pan on my stove top and it worked a treat 🙂 Just have to use a spatula and keep moving it around

I don’t have a microwave. Wondering whether I can melt the cream cheese over the stove? Thanks.
