The Ingredients for Keto Almond Flour Bread Rolls

To make these rolls you will need the following:

  1. Almond flour
  2. Coconut flour
  3. Whole psyllium husk
  4. Baking soda
  5. Vinegar 

You will also need some tap water; you can add a smidge of salt, too, but it is optional or adjustable, according to your needs and preferences.

Step 1: Place the dry ingredients in a bowl

Begin by placing all of the dry ingredients--almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk, baking soda, and (optional) salt-- in a medium mixing bowl.

Step 2: Whisk the Dry Ingredients

Whisk the dry ingredient, breaking up all of the little bumps in the coconut flour and almond flour.

Step 3: Add the Water & Vinegar

Measure out the water and add the teaspoon of vinegar. You can use any neutral vinegar that you like, such as cider vinegar, white vinegar or white wine vinegar.

Pour the water-vinegar into the bowl of dry ingredients and, working quickly, stir until completley combined (i.e., no visible dry ingredients).

Step 4: Let the Dough Stand for 2 to 3 Minutes

Once the ingredients are mixed, let the mixture stand for about 2 to 3 minutes. That's all that it takes for the psyllium and coconut flour to soak up the liquid, creating a thick (but not stiff), pliable dough.

The dough should feel moist to the touch; if it feels stiff and somewhat dry, you might have added too much flour. It's not a problem if it is slightly off, but you will need to add more water. Start by adding a teaspoon at a time until the dough is moist.

Step 5: Roll the Dough Into Balls

The last step before baking is to divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball. The dough is extremely easy to work with, so the rolling is simple and quick.

The portions of dough should be approximately 35 grams each. Once rolled, each piece will be just larger than a ping pong ball (they will get bigger as they bake).

Space the dough balls 2 inches apart (or more) on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper.

Step 6: Bake the Bread Rolls

Time to bake! Slide the baking sheet with the dough balls into a preheated 350F oven and bake for 33 to 37 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch. 

The baking time may sound long for small rolls, but it is correct. It is due to the unconventional combination of grain-free flours and psyllium. Psyllium provides the necessary structure for these rolls to work. The long bake time allows the interiors of the rolls to dry out and transform (like magic) into bread. 

It's worth the wait. Here's the end result:

Taste & Texture of the Keto Vegan Bread Rolls

"Ordinary" is not a compliment for most foods, but it is here. These rolls taste like ordinary bread! In the absence of grains, eggs, oil, sugar, gluten, and yeast, ordinary is extraordinary!

The rolls are light and fluffy, and their neutral, toasted almond flavor is ideal with any toppings or fillings, sweet or savory. 

My favorite way to eat them? Perfectly plain.

Can I Make Bigger Rolls?

Yes! I like the smaller rolls for snacks, breakfast, and enjoying alongside soups and salads at lunch and dinner. Each small roll has  a mere 78 calories, yet significant fiber (3.7 grams). That translates to hours of satisfaction (adios, cravings!).

If you prefer large rolls, simply divide the dough into larger portions and bake longer.

For 6 Medium Rolls:

Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces (each portion approximately 46 grams). Roll into balls and bake for 40 to 45 minutes.

For 4 Large Rolls:

Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces (each portion approximately 70 grams). Roll into balls and bake for 45 to 50 minutes.

I know that you will  LOVE these keto vegan bread rolls. Happy baking!
