Equipment
- Stand Mixer
- 9x13-inch baking pan
- Mixing Cup
- Small Saucepan
Ingredients
For the Rolls
- 1.25 cups vital wheat gluten
- 0.67 cup oat fiber
- 0.33 cup lupin flour
- 0.33 cup ground golden flaxseed + 1-2 tablespoons extra, if needed
- 0.5 cup heavy cream at room temperature
- 0.5 cup very warm water about 125°F
- 3 tablespoons monk fruit or allulose sweetener
- 2 large eggs beaten, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon inulin powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
For the Garlic Herb Topping
- 0.33 cup butter softened
- 3 cloves garlic finely grated
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- salt pinch, for topping
- freshly grated Parmesan cheese optional
Instructions
- Activate Yeast: In a mixing cup, combine the very warm water and room-temperature heavy cream. Stir in the inulin powder, then sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top. Give it a gentle mix and let it sit for about 5-7 minutes until it looks foamy – this means your yeast is active!
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In the large bowl of your stand mixer, add the vital wheat gluten, oat fiber, lupin flour, golden flaxseed, sweetener, salt, and baking powder.
- Whisk Together: Briefly whisk these dry ingredients to ensure they're well blended and airy.
- Add Wet Mixture: Once your yeast mixture is bubbly and foamy, with the mixer running on a low speed, slowly pour it into the dry ingredients.
- Form Dough: Next, add the beaten eggs and continue mixing until the dough starts to come together.
- Incorporate Oil & Adjust: Pour in the olive oil and mix just until it's fully combined. If your dough feels too sticky, gradually sprinkle in 1-2 extra tablespoons of ground golden flaxseed until it's barely clinging to the sides of the bowl.
- Knead & Rest: Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then swap the paddle attachment for a dough hook. Knead the dough for 7 minutes. After kneading, let the dough rest in the bowl for 10 minutes while you get your baking pan ready.
- Prepare Pan: Lightly spray a 9x13 inch baking pan with nonstick spray or brush it with a thin layer of olive oil.
- Shape Rolls: Carefully remove the dough from the mixer. It should be slightly sticky, but easy to handle. Turn it out onto a clean surface and divide it into 12 equal portions. For consistent baking, weighing each portion is a good idea.
- Roll into Balls: Take each piece of dough, flatten it slightly, then pull all the edges into the center, pinching them closed to form a ball. Flip it over, cup your hand over the top, and gently roll it in a circular motion until the seam is smooth and hidden.
- Proofing Setup: Place your shaped rolls into the prepared pan, arranging them in 3 rows of 4. Lightly spray one side of a piece of plastic wrap with nonstick spray and loosely cover the rolls with it, spray-side down. Don't tuck it in too tightly; the rolls need space to expand.
- Proof Rolls: Allow the rolls to proof for 90 minutes. If your oven has a "bread proof" setting, use it. Otherwise, create a warm, moist environment by placing a shallow pan of boiling water on the bottom rack of your oven (or put a microwave-safe dish with hot water in the microwave alongside your rolls).
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gently remove the plastic wrap from the rolls. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until they're beautifully golden brown and cooked through. Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even color. If they start to brown too quickly, you can loosely tent them with aluminum foil.
- Prepare Garlic Topping: While the rolls are baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the finely grated garlic and a pinch of salt. Cook gently until the garlic is fragrant (don't let it brown). Remove from heat and stir in the fresh parsley.
- Finish & Serve: As soon as the rolls come out of the oven, generously brush them with the warm garlic herb butter. If you like, sprinkle with fresh Parmesan cheese and enjoy!
