You'll fall in love with bread all over again after you try these Keto Dinner Rolls. Not only are they super quick and easy to make, but they're soft and tender with that classic "bready" taste. Plus, they're Paleo, gluten-free, and dairy-free too!
Bread. It's one of the hardest things to give up when going gluten-free and low-carb.
The smell, the taste, the texture. It's a favorite and a staple for many people.
However, I'm here to tell you that you no longer have to give up bread!
These are by far the best Keto Dinner Rolls I've ever tried and I'm super excited to share them with you today!
They have that classic bread smell, taste, and texture you've been missing! Plus, they're super easy to make.
And if you're looking for more low-carb bread recipes, I have an entire book devoted to bread in my Keto Breads Cookbook. In fact, this recipe is adapted from the Olive And Herb Focaccia Bread from the cookbook.
Psyllium vs. xanthan gum
For this recipe, you can use psyllium husk powder or xanthan gum. I like both equally in this recipe.
If you've never used psyllium before, similar to xanthan gum, it helps with texture, retains moisture, and prevents the bread from crumbling. However, it also lends a very slight sourdough-like taste - which I love!
It can be found in most health food stores and is usually in the supplement section.
Also, be sure to use psyllium husk powder - not whole psyllium husks - as whole psyllium husks will not work in this recipe.
While every recipe is different, generally, you can use 1 tablespoon of psyllium husk powder per ½ teaspoon of xanthan gum.
🔪 Easy instructions
Start by whisking together the dry ingredients. This includes blanched almond flour, flaxseed meal, psyllium powder or xanthan gum, sea salt, and baking powder.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients. This includes one large egg, 2 large egg whites, avocado oil, and apple cider vinegar.
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry, then add 1 tablespoon of boiling or very hot water. The hot water helps activate the psyllium. So if you're using psyllium, don't skip it!
Roll the dough into 6 equal-sized rolls and place on a small, greased baking pan or pie pan.
Then, brush the tops with melted butter or avocado oil and sprinkle with Italian seasonings.
Bake at 375 degrees for 15 - 20 minutes or until tops are very nicely browned. Allow to cool completely for best texture.
💭 Top tips
- Be sure to use psyllium powder - not whole psyllium husks - as whole psyllium husks will not work in this recipe.
- I love using psyllium powder in bread recipes because it helps with texture, retains moisture, and prevents the bread from crumbling. It also lends a very slight sourdough-like taste - which I love! However, you can replace it with xanthan gum if you prefer.
- If you've never bought psyllium before, it can be found in most health food stores in the supplement section.
- The rolls are best when eaten the same day but can be stored in an air-tight baggie at room temperature for 1 day, 2-3 days in the refrigerator, or frozen up to 3 months. Bread softens after stored.
