Low carb bread rolls

[Mark Parrott]

This recipe is taken from the diet doctor website. I didn't add as much water as stated in the recipe (I used half as much) and added it gradually to the dry ingredients. Also, this is suppose to make 6 rolls, but I made 2 big ones & 1 tiny test roll. With 6 rolls, they are 2g carb per roll.

• • • 1¼ cups (300 ml) almond flour
    • 5 tablespoons ground psyllium husk powder
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon sea salt
    • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
    • 1¼ cups (300 ml) boiling water
    • 3 egg whites
    • sesame seeds
    
    
  • Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl.
  2. Bring the water to a boil and add this, the vinegar and egg whites to the bowl, while whisking with a hand mixer for about 30 seconds. Don’t overmix the dough, the consistency should resemble Play-Doh.
  3. Form with moist hands into 4 or 8 pieces of bread. You can also make hot dog or hamburger buns.
  4. Bake on lower rack in oven for 50–60 minutes, depending on the size of your bread. They’re done when you hear a hollow sound when tapping the bottom of the bun.
  5. Serve with butter and toppings of your choice. Store the bread in the fridge or freezer.

For cheap psyllium husks, check out wholefoods online. They have everything for us weirdos.

Thanks Mark!

Ooh I'll give it a try, there's a health food shop nearby that makes a roll similar to these and they're delish. They also do flax buns but I'm not as keen on the texture of flax in a bread product it's a bit too gel like 🙂

They'll keep you regular - psyllium is used as a laxative. 😱

 

[Mark Parrott]

Psyllium husks are high in fibre so yes, they will keep you regular.

Not all of us need laxatives😱😱

May I add that I was fine after my roll.🙂

Thanks for the recipe Mark. Mine are now baking in the oven.
However I'm not too hopeful of success as I can't clean the utensils especially the whisk as its so sticky! And doesn't look very edible.
Feel a bit like Wendy Craig in Butterflies! Obviously I've done something wrong! 😱

Just looked this up on line before I embarked, because the list of ingreds didn't seem to give it enough to go on. Did you miss out the almond flour, Mark?

 

[Mark Parrott]

Whoops! Yes, there should be almond flour. I've edited the recipe.

If you followed my recipe, I forgot to include the Almond flour! I've changed it now. If you've made yours without almond flour, them i'm afraid they will be gross. Very sorry! My fault.

 

[Martin Canty]

OMG...... You have had half of the community making wallpaper paste!!!! 😱

 

[Lindarose]

Ha ha Gross just about sums them up!
I was going to add a pic but it doesn't do them justice 😱
I don't like almond flavour so anyone know of an alternative flour I could use?

 

[Martin Canty]

alternative flour I could use

Perhaps coconut, or other similar 'flour', it's just used for bulk & texture so wouldn't need any specific properties

 

[Lindarose]

Thanks I'll get some coconut flour and have another bash. Not to be beaten here!
Hubbys offered to do the washing up!

Oh dear, this is all my fault.😳. I copy & pasted the recipe but missed the first line. But try coconut flour, it might work.

 

[Lindarose]

Ha ha It's fine Mark 🙂
My attempts at cooking are never great and we had a real laugh when they came out of the oven!
I'll let you know how the coconut flour ones come out when I do them.

I don't have psyllium husk powder, but I do have glucomannan powder. Do you think it would be a viable alternative? If yes, I'll have a go at this recipe tonight. If not, I'll just have to wait until the weekend. The prospect of something properly 'bready' is incredibly appealing.
