Pull-Apart Keto Bread Rolls

Step 1

Proof the yeast! Put the yeast and inulin into a bowl and add the warm water (40 Celsius / 105 Fahrenheit).  If you don't have a thermometer, the water should be warm to the touch. Cover the bowl  with a kitchen towel and leave in a warm place for 5-10 minutes until it starts to froth and thicken.

Step 2

In the meantime, combine the dry ingredients -  almond flour, protein powder, psyllium husk powder, baking powder -  in another bowl and set aside.

Step 3

Using an electric mixer or a food processor, whisk the room temperature eggs and egg whites, melted (warm, not hot!!) butter and the activated yeast mixture until well combined.

Step 4

Add the yoghurt and the first half of the dry ingredients mixture. Blend until combined, then add the second half of the flour mix. The dough will thicken quickly as the psyllium and the almond flour absorb the moisture.

Step 5

Line a pie dish or a casserole dish with parchment paper.  Lightly wet your hands and form eight dough balls. Make sure you leave some space around the rolls as they will significantly increase in size.

Step 6

Cover the dish with lightly oiled cling film and a kitchen towel and return to a warm space for around 50 to 60 minutes until the rolls have substantially expanded - see the images in the post. I like to place my tray on top of the radiator.

Step 7

Towards the end of the rising time, pre-heat the oven to 175°C/350 Fahrenheit.

Step 8

Bake for around 15 minutes or until the rolls are starting to brown. Then cover loosely with aluminium foil and continue to bake for another 7-10 minutes.
