Almond Flour Keto Dinner Rolls With Golden Crust - Soft, Buttery, and Low-Carb

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients
  

  • Almond flour (super-fine, blanched)
  • Psyllium husk powder (fine powder, not whole husks)
  • Baking powder (aluminum-free if possible)
  • Salt
  • Eggs (2 large for dough, 1 for egg wash)
  • Apple cider vinegar
  • Warm water
  • Unsalted butter (melted), or avocado oil for dairy-free
  • Optional: Garlic powder, onion powder, dried herbs (rosemary, thyme), sesame or poppy seeds

Method
 

  1. Preheat and prep: Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk 2 cups almond flour, 2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until evenly combined. If using garlic or onion powder, add 1/2 teaspoon now.
  3. Whisk wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat 2 large eggs, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, and 2 tablespoons melted butter (or oil). Add 3/4 cup warm water and whisk again.
  4. Combine: Pour wet into dry. Stir with a spatula until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms. Let it rest for 2–3 minutes to allow the psyllium to hydrate and firm up.
  5. Shape the rolls: Lightly oil your hands. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape into smooth balls. Place on the baking sheet, spaced an inch apart. For a dinner-roll look, place them closer so they touch slightly as they bake.
  6. Egg wash: Beat 1 egg with a teaspoon of water. Brush the tops generously. Sprinkle seeds or herbs if you like.
  7. Bake: Bake for 20–24 minutes, until the tops are deep golden and the bottoms feel set. The rolls should sound slightly hollow when tapped.
  8. Cool briefly: Let them rest 10 minutes on the tray, then move to a rack. This helps the interior set and keeps the crust lightly crisp.
  9. Serve warm: Brush with a little melted butter and a pinch of flaky salt for a bakery finish.
