Ingredients
  

Step 1: Prepare the Yeast

  • ½ cup warm water around 110°F (not boiling water)
  • 2 tsp dried yeast
  • 2 tsp erythritol or other keto sweetener of choice

Dry Ingredients

  • 1½ cups almond flour
  • ⅔ cup golden flax flour
  • 2 tbsp psyllium husk powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp cream of tartar
  • 2 tsp gelatin

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 eggs (plus one extra for brushing on top of the buns, if desired)
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup coconut cream
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yeast

  • Combine the yeast and erythritol in a medium sized bowl.
  • Add 1/2 cup warm water and let sit to bloom.

Prepare the Dry Ingredients

  • In a large bowl, mix together the all the dry ingredients.

Prepare the Wet Ingredients

  • In a large bowl, mix together wet ingredients.
  • Then mix in the yeast mixture with the wet ingredients. Stir to combine.

Mix the Dry and Wet Ingredients Together

  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk together.
  • Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes. The flours and psyllium husks will swell and absorb the liquid.
  • Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and roll with your hands to make a sausage like shape. For mini hot dog rolls, divide the mixture into 8 rolls.
  • Sit the rolls on your baking tray and cover with a tea towel. Place in a warm area for around 1 hour to allow the dough to rise slightly.

After the Rolls Have Proved

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • Beat 1 small egg and brush the top of the rolls (if desired). This helps to make a golden brown color to the top of the rolls. You can omit this step if you prefer.
  • Bake the 4 large rolls for 15 minutes, then cover with foil.
  • Bake for a further 15 minutes or until cooked through.
  • NB: Halve the cooking time for smaller rolls and no need to cover with foil.
