How to Make Keto Garlic Rolls:
1. Prepare the Liquid Magic:
Start by heating water and heavy cream to 125°F. Add inulin powder to the mixture, then sprinkle the active dry yeast on top. Let the yeast bloom for a few minutes to activate.
2. Mix the Dry Symphony:
In your stand mixer bowl, combine vital wheat gluten, oat fiber, lupin flour, golden flaxseed, sweetener, salt, and baking powder. This mixture will give your rolls the perfect texture.
3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Once the yeast has bloomed, slowly pour the mixture into the dry ingredients in your mixer. Add the eggs and olive oil, and mix until the dough forms.
4. Knead, Rest, and Rise:
Knead the dough until smooth, then let it rest. While the dough is resting, prepare your 9 x 13 pan by lining it with parchment paper. Once the dough has rested, cut it into rolls and place them in the pan. Let the rolls proof for about 90 minutes to rise.
5. Bake to Golden Glory:
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Once the rolls have risen, bake them for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. While the rolls bake, sauté garlic in butter until fragrant, then add parsley. Once the rolls are out of the oven, brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the rolls. For extra flavor, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
What Pairs Perfectly with Keto Garlic Rolls?
The answer is simple: Everything! These rolls are incredibly versatile and pair well with almost any keto dinner, from smothered pork chops to grilled steak. You can even get creative with leftovers and use them for party sliders, meatball sandwiches, or keto-friendly croutons and breadcrumbs.
Can You Freeze Keto Garlic Rolls?
While freshly baked rolls are undeniably delicious, you can freeze them for later enjoyment. Here’s how:
- Allow the rolls to cool completely.
- Double wrap them in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag to prevent them from sticking together.
- Don’t forget to label the bag with the date. When stored properly, these rolls can last for several months in the freezer.
Ingredients:
For the Rolls:
- 1 ¼ cups vital wheat gluten
- ⅔ cup oat fiber
- ⅓ cup lupin flour
- ⅓ cup ground golden flaxseed
- ½ cup heavy cream (room temperature)
- ½ cup very warm water (about 125°F)
- 3 tablespoons monk fruit or allulose (sweetener)
- 2 whole eggs (beaten and room temperature)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon inulin powder (to activate the yeast)
- 1 teaspoon salt
For the Topping:
- ⅓ cup butter (softened)
- 3 cloves garlic (coarsely grated)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Directions:
1. Prepare the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vital wheat gluten, oat fiber, lupin flour, golden flaxseed, baking powder, inulin powder, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients until well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, combine the warm water and heavy cream. Stir in the monk fruit or allulose to sweeten. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the liquid and let it bloom for about 5 minutes until foamy.
Add the bloomed yeast mixture, beaten eggs, and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix well until a dough begins to form. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth, about 5 minutes. The dough should be soft but firm enough to hold its shape.
2. Let the Dough Rise:
Cover the dough with a clean towel and let it rise for 1 hour 30 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
3. Shape the Rolls:
Once the dough has risen, preheat your oven to 350°F. Punch the dough down gently and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a baking dish.
4. Bake the Rolls:
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
5. Prepare the Topping:
While the rolls bake, prepare the garlic butter topping. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, grated garlic, fresh parsley, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.
Once the rolls are done, generously brush the garlic butter mixture over the top of each roll. For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the rolls, if desired.
