1TablespoonApple Cider Vinegar
4LargeEggs
1CupWarm Water

Instructions
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a muffin tin.
Mixing Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt.
Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.
Combining Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, apple cider vinegar, and warm water.
Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients.
Stir until a thick dough forms. The psyllium husk will absorb the moisture, making the dough more pliable.
Shaping the Rolls
Divide the dough into equal portions (approximately 8-10 rolls).
Shape each portion into a ball and place it on the prepared baking sheet or in the muffin tin.
Optionally, sprinkle with additional herbs or seeds for extra flavor and texture.
Baking
Place the baking sheet or muffin tin in the preheated oven.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a roll; it should come out clean.
Cooling
Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack.
Let them cool completely to set their texture.
Notes
Psyllium Husk Powder:
Ensure you use psyllium husk powder and not whole psyllium husks. The powder helps bind the ingredients together and gives the rolls a bread-like texture.
Egg Temperature:
Use eggs at room temperature for better incorporation into the dough. Cold eggs can make the dough stiffer and harder to mix.
Dough Consistency:
The dough should be thick and pliable. If it’s too dry, add a little more warm water, a teaspoon at a time. If it’s too wet, add a bit more almond flour.
Resting the Dough:
Let the dough rest for a few minutes after mixing. This allows the psyllium husk powder to fully absorb the liquid, improving the texture of the rolls.
Shaping Tips:
Wet your hands slightly when shaping the rolls to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands.
Baking Time:
Oven temperatures can vary, so check the rolls a few minutes before the end of the recommended baking time. They should be golden brown and firm to the touch.
Cooling:
Allow the rolls to cool completely on a wire rack to set their texture. Cutting or serving them too soon may result in a doughy center.
Flavor Variations:
Experiment with different herbs, spices, or cheese to customize the flavor of your rolls. Popular additions include garlic powder, rosemary, thyme, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Storage:
Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to a month. Reheat before serving to restore freshness.
Dietary Adjustments:
For a dairy-free version, replace the eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water per egg, let sit for 5 minutes before using).
These notes will help ensure your keto dinner rolls turn out perfectly every time and can be customized to your taste and dietary needs.
