Tips for Perfect Almond Flour Dinner Rolls

• Blanched almond flour has a finer texture than almond meal, helping to achieve smoother and more uniform rolls.
• You won’t taste the vinegar in the rolls, but it is an important ingredient to help activate the baking powder and get the rolls to rise, so don’t skip it.
• Don’t skip the rest period before shaping. This allows the psyllium husk to absorb moisture and firm up the dough.
• Almond flour dough can be sticky. Wet your hands slightly to make shaping the rolls easier and to achieve smooth surfaces.
• Keep a close eye on the rolls while baking. Overbaking can dry them out. They are done when they are golden brown.

Variations and Serving Suggestions

• For an herb bread, add 1-2 tablespoons of fresh chopped herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, or parsley, to the dough.
• Mix in 1/2 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar, parmesan, or mozzarella) for a cheesy and savory flavor.
• Incorporate 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of onion powder for an aromatic kick.
• Use the rolls as buns for mini sliders. Fill them with your favorite proteins, such as pulled chicken, beef patties, or veggie burgers, topped with fresh greens and condiments.
• Serve with scrambled eggs, avocado, and smoked salmon for a delicious and nutritious breakfast.
• Enjoy the rolls with various dips like hummus, spinach-artichoke dip, or a spicy sriracha mayo.
• Slice the rolls in half and use them to make sandwiches.
• Top the rolls with diced tomatoes, basil, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a quick and tasty bruschetta.

Storing and Reheating Your Healthy Dinner Rolls

Leftover rolls can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or two or frozen for longer storage. To bring back the freshness, they can be reheated in the oven wrapped in aluminum foil for 5 minutes.
