Take a look at this herb & flaxseed dinner roll recipe!
Is your meal missing something? Try adding this herb & flaxseed dinner roll to the menu. Not only is it warm, cheesy, buttery, and delicious–but it's also low carb! Who knew you could still enjoy “bread” without worrying about the carbs? You are sure to love this alternative that has fantastic taste and texture.
First thing first, we should discuss how much effort this recipe requires. You'll be happy to learn it only takes about 15 minutes of prep and 15 minutes of cook time before you can serve up this perfect addition to your meal. Unlike traditional dinner rolls, there is no waiting for the dough to rise since there is no yeast! All you need to do is mix the ingredients together, form your rolls, and bake! So much faster than making any other kind of roll you may have tried in the past.
The roll itself is comprised of herb, flaxseed, cream cheese, mozzarella, and almond flour, but the real treat is what's brushed on top of it! The flavorful mixture of butter, thyme, and rosemary adds a delicious pop of flavor. If you want to try using different kinds of herbs, you definitely can. Dried basil, oregano, and parsley would all work great with these rolls. You could also make a spicy version by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the butter mix. Each time you make this recipe, give a new herb a try. Since herbs are fairly low in carbs and you use such a small quantity anyway, you can freely experiment with the taste without worrying about breaking your keto diet!
Before you pop the rolls into the oven, you have to make them look, well, roll-like. Simply roll out the dough into a log, cut into six similar pieces, and then roll each piece into a ball. That's it! Each one will be perfectly portioned and it only takes a few seconds to roll into a ball. You can also make mini breadsticks if you'd like! If the dough is a little sticky, sprinkle your counter with some extra almond flour to help form the dough balls.
After the dough turns a golden brown, pull them out of the oven and brush once more with the butter mixture. That extra butter on the rolls after they bake gives the rolls a perfect finish and that bonus flavor that you will go crazy for. I recommend making a little extra of the butter mix to serve alongside the rolls. Slice them in half and slather herb butter inside for an even more herby taste! So good!
The great thing about low carb herb & flaxseed dinner rolls is that they can go with anything! It's a versatile side dish that everybody needs on hand just in case their meal is missing a little something. No matter the occasion, you and your guests are sure to fall in love with this amazing keto-friendly side. It's just too good not to enjoy!
