About Norma Lehmeier Hartie

A note on the photo…I am not a baker—I am a cook—and these aren’t “perfect”. I rarely baked anything before going Keto, because I don’t like to. However, I like to eat these suckers more than I don’t like baking, especially since buying Keto friendly bread is not an option, as the only breads available are awful and/or filled with processed ingredients. Baked all three types of rolls I make to get it out of the way for a few weeks. Also, one thing I like is that all of these recipes require only one bowl to make, so cleanup is easy.

This is not my recipe, and I am sorry, but do not have the baker’s name who created it. Please let me know if you recognize it and I can give credit to this awesome low carb roll!

Keto Roll #3

Preheat oven to 350. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.

Ingredients

2 T sunflower seeds

2 T pepitas

1 T sesame seed

3 cups almond flour

2 T psyllium powder

2 T flax meal

1 t baking soda

1 t salt

4 large eggs

4 T avocado oil

2 T apple cider vinegar

½ cup boiling water

Mix seeds and set aside. Mix flour, psyllium, flaxseed, baking soda, salt and half seeds. Add eggs, oil, vinegar and stir. Add water. Form 10-12 rolls, or less, if you want them large. Sprinkle remaining seeds on top of rolls. Bake 30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean and you have a light brown top crust.

I found this recipe on The Diet Doctor’s website and it was created by Anne Aobadia. I am a cook—not a baker—and would never have been able to dream this recipe up. It is really, really good! According to Anne, each bun is 2 grams of carbs.

As the recipe suggests, I made 6 roundish buns. They would make great burger buns, so for that, I will make them flatter.

I made them again with 4 egg whites and the result was fluffier rolls!

Keto Bread—makes 6 buns

Ingredients

1¼ cups almond flour

5 tbsp ground psyllium husk powder

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp sea salt

2 tsp cider vinegar

1 cup boiling water

3 or 4 egg whites

2 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl.

Bring the water to a boil and add it, the vinegar and egg whites to the bowl, while beating with a hand mixer for about 30 seconds. Don’t over mix the dough, the consistency should resemble Play-Doh.

Moisten hands and make 6 pieces of the dough. Place on a greased baking sheet or use parchment paper.

Bake on lower rack in the 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.

Serve with butter and toppings of your choice.
