Sitting down to a lovely dinner and having to say, “No, Thank You”, to a warm buttery dinner roll is low key torture. We get it. That’s why we created this easy recipe to make keto friendly dinner rolls from our All-Purpose Bread Mix.
These keto friendly dinner rolls are perfect if you are hosting for anyone with dietary restrictions or to bring with you to dinner if you are living a low carb lifestyle. Welcome Back to Dinner Rolls! These gluten free, keto friendly dinner rolls can be endlessly customized to fit your tastes or to go along with your menu. For example garlic rosemary rolls might pair perfectly with a spaghetti and meatball dinner. Rolls can be rolled in everything bagel seasoning and enjoyed slathered with cream cheese for your morning breakfast.
These keto friendly dinner rolls will be light and tender due to their shorter cooking time due to their smaller size. All you need is 2 ingredients plus water, rest/proof time, shape and bake. Bake a batch or two and freeze so you can always enjoy homemade gluten-free buns, especially during Thanksgiving and the holidays. Incredibly versatile, these keto rolls are just as great when topped with both sweet jam or savory toppings. Totally gluten-free, dairy-free, Paleo and Keto-friendly too!
Measure out all your ingredients for your keto friendly dinner rolls before you begin mixing. What you will need is 1 bag of Fox Hill Kitchens All-Purpose Bread Mix, 1 1/4 cup room temp water, 3 Tbs apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup avocado oil, 3/4 cup boiling water (can be heated in microwave, tea kettle or on top of the stove).
For a more buttery flavor in your dinner rolls measure out 3 additional Tbs of melted butter.
Empty the bag of gluten free, keto All Purpose Bread Mix into mixer bowl, then add all the wet ingredients except for the boiling water, and mix well. Carefully add the boiling water (it can be done all at once) and immediately begin stirring it in. Continue mixing thoroughly until the dough is even and consistent. The mix can be done by hand, in a stand mixer, or a food processor. If using a mixer or food processor it is perfectly fine to run it at high speed; it will not damage the dough. When in doubt, mix longer it will not damage the dough.
Watch this short instructional video on mixing the dough by hand.
At this point, the dough can rest in a covered bowl for four hours (for zero sugars) or if in a hurry, the dough can be used after an hour of rising in a warm place. It will be slightly higher in carbs but perfectly keto friendly.
Preheat your oven for 15 minutes or when you begin to shaping your rolls. If you’re using a convection oven, set your temperature to 315℉. If using a conventional oven, set your temperature to 325℉. You will be baking your rolls for 40-45 minutes (45 minutes needed especially if placed close together). If rolls rise into each other and connect, increase your baking time by 5.
Grease your hands before handling the dough. It’s normal for the gluten-free dough to be rather sticky and wet in this keto friendly roll recipe. If you notice that the dough starts sticking too much to your hands, simply wash your hands, dry them, and grease them with more oil before rolling the dough again.
Use a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. We highly recommend using a silicone baking mat (which is reusable and ensures that the dough doesn’t stick). If you don’t have a mat, make sure you use parchment paper so that it is easier to remove the buns once they are ready.
Divide the dough into 16 equal portions and roll or shape each portion of dough into a ball
Place your rolls evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet, at least 1.5 inches apart (the buns will expand during baking). You are now ready to pop them into your oven. Once they’re done, let them cool and enjoy!
Bake a batch or two and freeze so you can always enjoy homemade gluten-free buns whenever the craving strikes (during Thanksgiving, the holidays, or all year around)! Incredibly versatile, these keto buns are just as great with sweet jam or savory toppings.
Rising/resting time – It’s important to note that the 4 hour rising time in a warm place is the minimum amount that it needs to reach zero sugars. It is perfectly fine to let it sit longer and bake it the next day.
Dividing the dough – There are 2 basic ways to divide the dough into your keto friendly dinner rolls. One is to shape the entire batch into an even square or rectangle and cut 4 by 4 to have 16 somewhat even pieces. For those who want more even sized pieces, you will need a kitchen scale. Weigh out pieces at 1.7 ounces per roll. It won’t come out exact but 15 of the rolls will be consistent.
If you would like 20 rolls, cut your rectangle into 20 even pieces, or weigh them at 1.3 ounces per piece.
In a hurry? Just place the evenly cut squares on your baking sheet and pop into the oven!

Delicious and simple keto, low carb whipped cream. This recipe is one of my family’s go-to’s! We use it with anything that we can…in coffee, on top of keto French toast or low carb pancakes, with berries, with keto desserts, or by itself to satisfy the need for something light and creamy.
Bread pudding is a simple and delicious treat, and when made with pumpkin and all the cozy spices of fall, it carries the nostalgia of hot tea, fuzzy blankets, and crisp mornings. This pudding is rich and heavenly and can be served any way you like.
