Recipe: Keto Yeast Dinner Rolls

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup vital wheat gluten
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 teaspoon granulated erythritol (or any keto-friendly sweetener)
  • 1/2 cup warm water (around 110°F or 43°C)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, but helps with texture)

Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and erythritol. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy. This indicates that the yeast is active.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, vital wheat gluten, salt, and xanthan gum (if using).
  3. Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add the melted butter and eggs to it. Mix well.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. It should be soft but not too sticky. If it’s too sticky, you can add a bit more almond flour.
  5. Knead the dough on a clean surface for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  6. Form the dough into 8 equal-sized rolls and place them in a greased 9×9-inch (23×23 cm) baking dish. Leave a little space between each roll.
  7. Cover the dish with a clean kitchen towel and let the rolls rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 45-60 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
  8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  9. Once the rolls have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped.
  10. Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
