Keto Rolls

This is the first keto ‘bread’ recipe I came across that actually turned out great! They are quick and easy to make. They take a longer time to bake than you’d expect, but it’s worth the wait. They smell like baking bread, look great, taste great! The rolls keep in the fridge for days and can be sliced and toasted to be used for mini sandwiches, buttered toast, toaster oven pizzas and are great to dunk in soups. I’ve been told they freeze well—I’ll test that out the next time I make them and update here.

Enjoy!

Keto Rolls

These very low carb (2 gram each), no gluten rolls are just the thing when you're craving bread. They are quick to mix up, smell great baking and have a wonderful taste and texture. Firm enough to go in the toaster too. You can add garlic or onion powder to disguise the flavor if you're sensitive to the taste of psyllium.

Cuisine: Keto
Keyword: keto rolls
Servings: 6 rolls

Ingredients

dry ingredients

  • 1.5 cups almond flour
  • 5 tbsp ground psyllium husk
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • toppings (optional) Sesame, poppy, "everything" bagel mix, etc.

wet ingredients

  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 2 tsp cider vinegar
  • 3 egg whites

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Put all dry ingredients into a bowl and mix well.
  • Add the wet ingredients and mix well until dough becomes a bit fluffy. I mix in the vinegar and eggs first, then quickly stir in the water to form a foamy dough.
  • Form 6 rolls out of the dough using WET hands. I wet my hands for each roll. Sprinkle optional topping. You may need to rub a little more water on the rolls so the topping sticks better.
  • Bake at 350° for one hour. Enjoy!

Pesto – Fast & easy!

Ever had pesto? I’ve been making my own from scratch for years, since it’s so easy to make and tastes so much better than anything you’ll find in a jar. I grow basil in my garden and sometimes the plants get so big they start growing bark on the stems! To preserve as much as I can, I’ll make a batch of pesto a few times in late summer and early fall and vacuum seal them, about 1/3 cup per bag, so I can use it over the winter and into the next summer.

Not only is pesto a wonderful lighter pasta topping, but it’s also great as an appetizer, spread on buttered toasted bread medallions. I’ve also run across a keto-friendly pesto/chicken/kale soup recipe that I’ll post here soon.

Pesto - Fast & easy!

This is a great treat on pasta, but also delicious on crackers or warm bread as a snack. Try it as dip for bread sticks and even artichokes!
