Everything Rolls

I like to have a simple, easy to prepare bread option in my collection. I’ve experimented with this recipe for years and bake up a batch to have on hand whenever I need a break from traditional breads and need to up my fiber intake. I always encourage my clients to try out alternative grains and flours. In my experience these delightful alternatives often taste much better in baked goods than those made with traditional wheat flour.

Cookies, cakes, crackers, and breads made with combinations of spelt, almond, einkorn, buckwheat, rice, chickpea flours, and other gluten free or low gluten flours produce deliciously distinct flavors and textures that can be a refreshing change from traditional baked goods. My Everything Rolls are a good example.

These rolls are made with a combination of:

• almond flour which contains protein, fiber, and is a source of healthy plant fats.
• psyllium husk powder is the ingredient found in bulk-forming laxatives. It is a water-soluble fiber and may reduce your blood triglycerides, blood pressure and decrease your risk of heart disease which is so important for women in perimenopause and menopause. This fiber can steady your blood sugar and make you feel full longer so you might see some weight control benefits.
• coconut flour is higher in fiber than almond flour. It will not spike your blood sugar levels, supports optimal digestion, and is a benefit to heart health.
• flaxmeal is ground flax seeds. Add this seed to your baked goods to help fight heart disease and breast cancer. Buy flax seeds in small batches and store in your refrigerator or freezer to prevent them from getting rancid and negating all of their health benefits. Grind the amount you’ll need for a recipe or to sprinkle over your food.

Although these are pretty simple to prepare, there are a few steps that will improve the final product. If you have a kitchen scale use it to measure out the first four ingredients. Weighing is much more precise. Mix ingredients thoroughly in a stand mixer because it is difficult to form them if the ingredients are not fully blended with each other. The ice cream scoop really helps make a uniform roll shape.

Everything rolls will stand up to almost any seasoning you’re in the mood for. Try Italian, Mexican, Indian, or even a slightly sweet flavor profile with cinnamon, ginger powder, and some cacao powder.
