Grain Free Bread Rolls





Bread is something that a lot of people miss eating low carb. Thankfully, there are lots of alternatives you can bake using things like flaxmeal, psyllium husks, coconut flour or almond meal. We are having burgers for dinner and these rolls should do nicely at keeping all of those lovely fillings under control!

Serves: 4-5

1 1/4 cup blanched almond flour (or 1/2 cup coconut flour) 
5 TBS psyllium husks  
2 tsp baking powder 
1 tsp salt
2 eggs (4 if using coconut flour) 
1 cup BOILING water 

Preheat the oven to 180c. In a medium sized bowl, combine the almond, psyllium husks (no substitutes: flaxseed meal won't work), baking powder and salt. Add in the eggs and combine until a thick dough. Add boiling water into the bowl. Mix until well combined.

Form into 4 to 5 mini rolls (the dough will rise and spread a little) or one large loaf and place onto a greased baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes (longer if a loaf) Remove from the oven and allow the bread cool completely. Cut open with a serrated knife. Fill with desired fillings.
