Easy Keto Bread Rolls

In today’s post, I’d like to share an Easy Keto Bread Roll Recipe with you. Are you looking for low-carb bread that actually tastes like bread? Maria Emmerich’s Easy Keto Bread Rolls recipe, featured on DietDoctor.com, delivers on taste, texture, and simplicity. These rolls are soft, chewy, and completely grain-free—perfect for anyone on a keto or gluten-free diet.

Why These Rolls Work for Keto

These Easy Keto Bread Rolls use almond flour and psyllium husk as a low-carb alternative to wheat flour. Psyllium husk gives the rolls their classic bread-like structure without the carbs, while almond flour keeps the texture light and nutty. The rolls contain just 3 grams of net carbs each, making them ideal for meal prep or sandwich making on a ketogenic diet.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what you need to make these keto-friendly rolls:

Almond Flour
Psyllium Husk Powder
Baking Powder
Sea Salt
Apple Cider Vinegar
Liquid Egg Whites
1 cup boiling water
Sesame Seeds (Optional)

You can find the full recipe instructions from Maria Emmerich at Diet Doctor’s official recipe page.

Simple Instructions, Fresh Results

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the egg whites and vinegar, then slowly mix in the boiling water using a hand mixer. Shape the dough into six rolls. Place them on a greased baking sheet and bake on the lower rack for 50–60 minutes. They’re done when the bottoms sound hollow when tapped.

Goat Cheese Cheddar Au Gratin Potatoes

This rich and creamy au gratin potato dish combines the tangy flavor of goat cheese with the sharpness of cheddar for a delicious twist on classic comfort food.

Ingredients:

  • Four large russet potatoes peeled and thinly sliced
  • One medium onion, thinly sliced
  • Two cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 oz goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the Potatoes:
    • Peel and thinly slice the potatoes (about 1/8 inch thick). Place them in a large bowl of cold water to prevent browning while you prepare the other ingredients.
  3. Cook the Onion and Garlic:
    • In a medium saucepan, melt one tablespoon of the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until softened about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Make the Cheese Sauce:
    • In a separate saucepan, melt the remaining one tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until it forms a paste (roux) and starts to turn a light golden color.
    • Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and milk, ensuring no lumps form. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
    • Reduce heat to low and stir in the goat and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until the cheeses are completely melted and the sauce is smooth—season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using).
  5. Assemble the Dish:
    • Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a paper towel—layer half of the potato slices in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread half of the cooked onions and garlic over the potatoes.
    • Pour half the cheese sauce over the first layer of potatoes and onions. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, onions, and cheese sauce.
  6. Top and Bake:
    • Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
    • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 45 minutes.
    • Remove the foil and bake for 15-20 minutes until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  7. Garnish and Serve:
    • Let the dish rest for about 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley if desired.

Enjoy your delicious Goat Cheese Cheddar Au Gratin Potatoes as a perfect side dish for any meal!

Enjoy!

Chef John’s Mushroom Veggie Burgers via Food Wishes Video Recipes

Posted on By Kelly Gilbert No Comments on Chef John’s Mushroom Veggie Burgers via Food Wishes Video Recipes

You all know I’m all about saving money, but I’m also about flavor. This little gem magically appeared in my inbox today via The Allrecipes Daily Dish email newsletter. I must admit that I’ve struggled to find delicious and economical veggie burger options. I’m sorry, but $16.00 for a multipack of a name I will not mention veggie burgers is getting totally out of hand, not to mention all the added chemicals I could do without.

Mushrooms can be costly, so Chef John recommends buying them when they are priced at B1G1 free. I get them at Jerry’s Fruit & Garden in Niles or Sam’s Club.

At the time of this posting, a 24 oz container of white mushrooms was $4.12. Here is the direct link for Chef John’s Mushroom Veggie Burger. Please leave a comment and let me know if you enjoyed the recipe!
