Ingredients You’ll Need
Grab your apron (or don’t, I won’t judge) and raid your pantry for:
- 1 cup almond flour – the keto holy grail.
- 5 tbsp psyllium husk powder – the magic “bread-like” texture maker.
- 2 tsp baking powder – let’s get those buns rising.
- ½ tsp salt – flavor insurance.
- 1 cup boiling water – don’t burn yourself, please.
- 2 tsp apple cider vinegar – keeps things fluffy.
- 3 large egg whites – protein boost + structure.
- (Optional but delicious) Sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning – for that bakery vibe.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Okay, let’s do this. No PhD in baking required.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Don’t skip this. Preheated oven = happy rolls.
- Mix dry stuff – almond flour, psyllium husk, baking powder, salt. Give it a good stir.
- Add wet stuff – pour in egg whites, vinegar, and boiling water. Stir quickly (it gets thick fast).
- Form dough balls – wet your hands slightly (so you don’t look like you fought glue), then shape into 6 rolls.
- Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Sprinkle sesame seeds if you’re fancy.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes until they’re firm and slightly crisp on the outside.
- Cool before slicing (I know, the hardest part).
Boom. Fresh keto rolls that smell like heaven.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Skipping the psyllium husk – nope, you can’t. That’s literally the secret ingredient.
- Using whole psyllium husks instead of powder – unless you like purple bread. (Yep, it happens.)
- Not waiting for them to cool – cutting too early = squishy disaster.
- Forgetting the boiling water – cold water won’t cut it. Science, my friend.
Alternatives & Substitutions
- No almond flour? Swap with coconut flour, but cut it down to about ⅓ cup. (It’s thirsty stuff.)
- Want dairy vibes? Add a bit of shredded cheese into the dough for cheesy rolls.
- No vinegar handy? Lemon juice works. Don’t skip the acid—keeps rolls fluffy.
- Going nut-free? Use sunflower seed flour. Just… brace yourself for slightly green rolls. Totally normal.
