Grain Free Butter Top Dinner Rolls.
Grain free butter top dinner rolls that are low carb, paleo, and primal.
These Dinner Rolls are low carb and paleo bread rolls with butter brushed on top and baked.
They are also good with optional melted cheese on top for primal or low carb or keto diets.
A kind viewer that knows I have tummy issues from Xanthan gum, had recommended that I try psyllium husk powder in my bread recipes instead.
So, I tried using it in these rolls and found that works well in baking, and did not upset my tummy.
I found the psyllium husk powder on Amazon, but it is also carried at most health food or natural food stores in the supplement section. It is a high fiber seed husk-like flax seed.
These made an easy to work with dough that had a wonderful texture. The bottom of this post has some links to some great ideas for using leftover egg yolks.
Grain-Free Butter Top Rolls
Ingredients:
- ½ cup almond flour
- ⅓ cup coconut flour
- 3 ½ tablespoon psyllium husk powder
- 2 ½ teaspoon baking powder, this brand is corn free
- 1 ½ teaspoon sweetener of choice: erythritol granular for low carb, or coconut sugar for paleo (this does not make it sweet, but is optional)
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 6 egg whites, or ⅔ cup 100% liquid egg whites (in a carton)
- 2 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 ½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- ⅓ cup hot water
- 2 tablespoon butter, melted (for brushing the tops)
- ⅓ cup optional grated cheddar cheese, omit for paleo
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 F, and grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl combine: ½ cup almond flour, ⅓ cup coconut flour, 3 ½ tablespoon psyllium husk powder, 2 ½ teaspoon baking powder, 2 teaspoon granular sweetener of choice, and sea salt. Mix together thoroughly. Set aside.
- In a second large mixing bowl combine: 6 egg whites, 2 tablespoon melted butter, and1 ½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar. Mix together thoroughly.
- pour the egg mixture into the dry flour mixture and stir together well until dough forms.
- Pour the ⅓ hot water over the dough and stir into the dough until dough forms again.
- Form dough into 9 rounded mounds with your hands, and place onto baking sheet.
- Brush the tops lightly with melted butter.
- Bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from oven.
- Can sprinkle the tops with optional cheese if desired.
- Serve and enjoy! If rolls are still doughy in the center, then return to oven for a few minutes, or can microwave for 25 seconds.

THIS LOOKS SO GOOD, LOVE YOUR RECIPES!, ALSO WOULD YOU PLEASE DO A BUTTER CLOVERLEAF ROLLS RECIPE, LOVE CLOVERLEAF ROLLS, BUT CAN'T FIND ANY LOW CARB GRAIN FREE ONES.
Stacey says
Hi Kelly, Thank you so much, sweet lady! I will have to figure out what those are first. The name sounds heavenly!
Joan says
A question re the egg whites. Given that they aren’t whipped, is there any reason not to use whole eggs? Say 3 or 4 whole eggs instead of 6 whites? I’m curious about what the whites add that whole eggs would not.
Stacey says
The egg whites tend to be lighter than the yolks in bread recipes even without whipping them.
Annissa Slusher, D.C., N.D. says
These look lovely! Pinning to try soon!
I love your website. We eat very similar to the way you do--mostly Paleo, except for a few organic dairy products. We tend to use low-carb sweeteners as well instead of the Paleo sweeteners.
Stacey says
Thank you Annissa 🙂

I sure do appreciate all the work you do coming up with grain free and low carb recipes! As a former biscuit lover, giving up grain has been, well, not hard, but unsatisfying would be a better adjective. Thanks again for your work.
