Tips and How To Make Them
- Activating the yeast. The water must be warm to activate yeast. Add the inulin or sugar/honey to help activate. Cover the bowl with cling film and/or a silicone mat and leave somewhere warm to activate. You will know when it is ready as the top will be thick and foamy.
- When combining ingredients never add the yeast and salt together. Salt kills yeast. If you follow the list of ingredients in order of the recipe you will be safe.
- Knead for a minimum of 5 minutes. The dough should be soft but not sticky. If the dough is too wet add a little more flaxmeal to help absorb the moisture.
- The mix makes roughly 700g total mass. Cut into 10 x 70 g pieces and roll. Watch the video within the recipe for a simple rolling technique.
- Cover and place in a warm place to allow the buns to double in size. Leave plenty of room on the baking tray for them to rise.
- Season. I season with a mix of nigella seeds, sesame seeds, celery salt and onion granules.
- Bake and cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Ways to Serve Keto Bread Rolls

These were awesome!!! I made 20 rolls to try as dinner rolls and baked at 22-26 mins. Delish with butter fresh out of the oven and I can see them as slider buns. Thanks so much for the recipe!!-
They are pretty awesome aren’t they Mimi

This sounds yum. Did you just add cinnamon to the bun mix. My non keto hubby loves cinnomon buns with sultanas. l would like to make him happy also. i could have plain

Fabulous recipe, so much alike standard bread rolls. Truly delicious. Great on its own smudged with butter or as a toast or quickly reheated in a sandwich press. Thanks Megan, 😊 one of the best bread rolls recipes out there!-
They are pretty good aren’t they Nina. So happy you enjoyed them.

So, so, so tasty! I swapped oat fibre for psyllium husk as that’s what I had.
Dough was awfully hard to work with, almost impossible to roll and I had to wet my hands each time, knead it a bit to get more wet texture and it somehow worked. I’m wondering if it’s because psyllium husk, I used 1:1 ratio.
I’m pastry chef and baker, made thousands of rolls and breads in my life, but keto baking is something very new for me.
Anyway, they taste like heaven. My keto hot-dog lush, great recipe -
I’m very new to keto baking and it’s like a whole new world has opened up for me. I’m retired. I want to keep slim and now I have the time to create a new way of eating. If not now, when! For the first time in my life I am the owner of a stand food mixer and a dough hook! This is the recipe I tried with my new mixer and it all worked out beautifully. Many thanks and best wishes Megan. You’re an inspiration. -
Hi Megan. With this recipe, can I sub flaxseed meal for almond flour? My son and I don’t like the grainy texture from any type of meal.
-
I love this recipe, the bread and buns come out great. I’d like to make cinnamon rolls with a yeast dough. With the addition of more sweetener, do you think this would work?
-
What can I sub the almond with?
-
Is this recipe asking for one pack of active yeast?
-
I love the look of this recipe, apart from the 1 1/4 cups vital wheat gluten. I need to be gluten-free, otherwise my knees get extremely painful and I can’t walk.
So Megan – what can I use instead of the vital wheat gluten, please? “Dr Google” suggested Orgran, who have a product called “OrgraN Gluten Substitute”, but I’m having trouble finding somewhere that stocks it in Australia. IF I am able to find it, how much of this would I need to use in this recipe? Surely not the whole 1 1/4 cups! I do hope you can help.-
Hi Eileen, I am sorry I have not heard of the ingredient you mentioned. I will say that after creating more than 100 other gluten free breads that nothing mimics gluten that is gluten free in a loaf.

Can I just need with my hands if I don’t have a mixer with a bread attachment?

I love bread! I went on the keto diet and went through withdrawals, until: I found your recipe. It is so good! Great for hamburgers, sandwiches, dinner rolls. Can I use it to make pizza? Any changes? I am still losing weight and I have 1 each day. I also cheated a little bit and only rolled 8 rolls. 3 net carbs rather than 2. Superior Rolls Thank You. -
I made a batch and divided the dough. I used half for the most soft and lush cinnamon buns and the other half for a pizza. I used a pizza stone and it was fabulous!-
Sounds delicious Lisa. So happy they worked out fab.

Hi Megan, Can you make this recipe in a bread machine? So activate the yeast first and then pop everything in the bread machine, let it do its thing so knead, rise, knead and then take the dough out, roll into rolls, rise and then bake in the oven? Trying to think of ways to have bread rolls for Christmas. Thanks
-
Hey Kirstyn, yes of course you can. Go for it!
-
-
In stead of activated yeast could you try instant yeast?
-
Hi Lizel, the yeast used is instant dried yeast that has been activated to get the loaf rising quicker. Is this the yeast you are mentioning or fresh yeast?
-

when the recipe is converted to US measurments it says:
1 cup warm water
2 teaspoons inulin
1 1/2 tsp yeast 1 sachet dried yeast
2 eggs
Pinch salt flakes
1/3 cup (plus 2 tbsp) golden flax meal or pepita meal if you do not like the flax seed taste
1/3 cup almond meal
1/2 cup oat fiber click for supplier
1 1/4 cup vital wheat gluten click for supplier
4.73 tbsp butter cubed
1/4 teaspoon xanthan gumis this correct? thank you i cant wait to try the recipe
-
Hi Mercy, yes those measurements can all work. To make the butter easier just go with 4 tbsp. I have used up to 1 tbsp of the insulin to activate the yeast as well
