Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup tapioca flour
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca flour, salt, baking powder, dried rosemary, and dried thyme. Whisk dry ingredients together until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs until smooth. Add coconut milk and minced garlic, mixing thoroughly to combine.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until a cohesive dough forms. The mixture should be slightly sticky but manageable.
- Let the dough rest for 5 minutes to allow flours to absorb moisture and bind together.
- Using slightly wet hands, divide dough into 12 equal portions and shape each into a round roll, placing them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Optional: Brush rolls with additional beaten egg for a golden, shiny finish.
- Bake in preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until rolls are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm and enjoy your Paleo-friendly garlic herb dinner rolls.
Tips
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing and consistent texture.
- Use a kitchen scale for precise flour measurements to guarantee the right dough consistency.
- Let the dough rest for exactly 5 minutes to allow flours to absorb moisture, which is crucial for achieving the perfect roll texture.
- Wet your hands slightly when shaping rolls to prevent sticky dough from clinging to your fingers.
- For a professional bakery-style finish, brush rolls with beaten egg for a golden, glossy appearance.
- Check rolls at the 22-minute mark to prevent over-browning, as Paleo flours can brown more quickly than traditional wheat flour.
- Allow rolls to cool on a wire rack to maintain their crisp exterior and prevent soggy bottoms.
- Store leftover rolls in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the oven for that fresh-baked taste.
