For those following a ketogenic diet, finding suitable bread replacements can be a challenge. However, with a little creativity and the right ingredients, it's possible to enjoy delicious and satisfying dinner rolls that fit within your macros. This article explores several keto-friendly dinner roll options, including a convenient recipe using Aldi's keto dinner rolls and a versatile low-carb roll recipe that can be adapted for various uses.

Keto Turkey Bacon Ranch Sliders Using Aldi Keto Dinner Rolls

One of the easiest ways to enjoy keto dinner rolls is by making sliders. Aldi's keto dinner rolls, which resemble Hawaiian rolls, provide a convenient and tasty base for these miniature sandwiches.

Ingredients:

• Keto-friendly dinner rolls (available at Aldi)
• Cheddar cheese slices
• Deli turkey breast slices
• Bacon slices, cooked
• Ranch dressing
• Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato slices, red onion slices, black olives, cucumber slices

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a baking sheet or baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Cut the keto dinner rolls in half horizontally, like a bagel, using a large serrated knife.
3. Place the bottom halves of the rolls on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Layer cheddar cheese slices on the bottom halves, followed by turkey slices and bacon slices.
5. Spread ranch dressing on the cut side of the top buns and place them on top of the bacon.
6. Spray the tops of the buns with nonstick cooking spray (or brush with melted butter or olive oil).
7. Cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sliders are heated through.
8. Remove from the oven and serve. Top with desired toppings such as lettuce, tomato, and red onion.

Tips and Variations:

• Feel free to adjust the amounts of turkey, bacon, and cheese to your liking.
• Leftover turkey from holiday dinners works perfectly in these sliders.
• For added flavor, consider using different types of cheese, such as provolone or Monterey Jack.
• These sliders can be eaten cold or reheated. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

"Failure into Success" Keto Friendly Low Carb Rolls

This recipe is a testament to how mistakes can sometimes lead to delicious discoveries. Originally intended to be low-carb bagels, a misread ingredient list resulted in a slightly different dough. Instead of bagels, the dough was transformed into rolls, yielding a surprisingly successful keto-friendly bread.

Ingredients:

• Almond flour
• Baking powder
• Kosher salt
• Greek yogurt
• Egg

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray, or use a silicon baking mat with no spray.
2. Combine almond flour, baking powder, and Kosher salt in a mixing bowl.
3. Stir in Greek yogurt and one egg, then mix until well combined.
4. Dust a work surface with almond flour and place dough in the middle, then continue to turn dough and knead about 25 times until it is balling up nicely (will still be extremely sticky!).
5. Add six balls of dough to your prepared baking sheet. They'll be gloopy, but no worries: They'll settle down and spread out into nice flat rolls.
6. Bake until golden brown.

Tips and Considerations:

• Almond flour can be expensive, so consider buying it in bulk online or checking for special buys at stores like ALDI.
• These rolls are gluten-free and keto-friendly.

Coconut Flour Keto Dinner Rolls

For those looking to incorporate coconut flour into their keto baking, this recipe offers a soft and flavorful alternative to almond flour-based rolls. The addition of psyllium husk powder helps to improve the texture and create a lighter, fluffier bread.

Ingredients:

• Coconut flour
• Psyllium husk powder
• Baking powder
• Salt
• Eggs
• Melted butter
• Water

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Combine all of the dry ingredients (coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, salt) and mixing thoroughly.
3. In a separate bowl start beating the eggs with a hand mixer. Add in melted butter and water and continue to mix until combine.
4. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and continue mixing until the dough becomes thick and well mixed. If dough is not easily shapable by hand continue adding more psyllium husk powder until it is less sticky.
5. Form into 10 dinner rolls and place on a greased baking sheet or silicon baking mat. Larger rolls can be made if desired, just add a few minutes onto the baking time.
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes.

Baking Time Variations:

• For a softer, chewier roll, bake for 20 minutes.
• For a firmer, crunchier crust, bake for 35-40 minutes.

Tips for Low-Carb Baking

Baking without traditional wheat flour can be tricky, but here are a few tips to help you achieve the best results with your keto dinner rolls:

• Use a kitchen scale: Measuring ingredients by weight is more accurate than measuring by volume, especially when working with alternative flours.
• Don't overmix: Overmixing can develop the gluten in almond flour, resulting in a tough bread. Mix until just combined.
• Adjust baking time: Ovens vary, so keep a close eye on your rolls and adjust the baking time as needed.
• Let cool completely: Keto breads often have a better texture once they have cooled completely.
