Minutes to Prepare: 10

Minutes to Cook: 55

Number of Servings: 15

Ingredients

1/2 cup Coconut flour (2.5 oz)
5 tbsp Psyllium Husk Powder (45 g)
2 tsp low-sodium baking powder
1 tsp ground sea salt
1 tsp chia seeds
1 tsp caraway seeds
1 tsp sesame seeds
1 tsp poppy seeds

8 egg whites (= 1 1/2 cup liquid egg whites)
2 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (1 oz)
1 cup BOILING water (or 7 oz of weight)

Tips

Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Line a couple of cookie sheets with parchment paper and give a light spray with oil or Pam.

In a medium sized bowl, combine the all dry ingredients. Mix until well combined. Add in the eggs & vinegar and mix until a thick dough forms. Add BOILING water and mix until well combined and dough firms up.

The dough will be sticky, but take small balls of dough and pat into flat-ish bun shapes. You should be able to get approximately 15 "dinner rolls" out of this recipe.

Cook for approx 25 minutes, then flip the rolls over and cook for another 25 minutes.
Fresh out of the oven, they will be a bit crunchy (almost like a meringue) but, let cool & put into a ziploc overnight and you will have soft dinner rolls!

Serving Size: make approx 15 3" rolls

FRUGAL TIP: 

1. Shop in the produce aisle. This sounds counter-intuitive, because everyone “knows” that produce is expensive. But I would shop for the inexpensive produce (which tended to be seasonal). Potatoes, carrots, celery, lettuce, tomatoes (sometimes), oranges (sometimes), cabbage, etc. These all make great food and provide snacks that generally don’t spike your blood sugar like factory-made snacks do. Also, this may be obvious, but I would eat fruit in season. For example, apples were plentiful in the fall: I could get a bag for about $1 and would get one or two bags for the week. I would have apples with everything (and for snacks). Again, I could not afford to throw out a single apple, so I ate them all. And at that time of year, making an apple pie was in the budget too!
