Gluten and grain free bread rolls
These gluten and grain free bread rolls are baked with raw almonds, psyllium husks and whipped egg whites for a light, springy crumb. The Thermomix TM7 grinds the almonds to a fine flour, whisks the egg whites airy and kneads the sticky dough evenly, so you get golden rolls without any wheat or grains.
About this recipe
Gluten and grain free bread rolls in the Thermomix TM7 are the answer for anyone searching for a homemade bread rolls recipe without wheat, spelt or any other grain. Instead of flour, these buns rely on raw almonds ground to a fine meal in the all-in-one kitchen machine, bound with psyllium husks and apple cider vinegar for a flexible, bread-like structure. Whipped egg whites give the crumb its airy lightness, while Himalayan salt balances the gentle nuttiness of the almonds. The TM7 takes on every step: grinding, whipping, mixing and kneading happen in one bowl, so there is no messy worktop and no separate food processor. Serve these rolls warm for breakfast with butter and jam, pack them in a lunchbox, or split them for burgers at a family barbecue. Because the dough comes together so quickly, fresh grain free buns are realistic even on a busy weekday morning.
Preparation tips
- Let the psyllium husks absorb the water and apple cider vinegar for a few minutes before shaping, so the dough firms up and the rolls hold their shape instead of spreading on the tray.
- Shape the rolls with wet hands or lightly oiled palms, as the almond and psyllium dough is sticky; a smooth dome gives the nicest crust and an even rise in the oven.
- Store the cooled rolls in an airtight container and refresh them briefly in a warm oven before serving; they also slice well for toasting and make an excellent base for sandwiches.
Recipe variations
- Add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup to the dough and sprinkle the rolls with flaked almonds before baking for a subtly sweet breakfast bun that pairs beautifully with jam.
- Fold sesame seeds or sunflower seeds through the dough for a savoury lunch version, delicious split and filled with smoked salmon, cream cheese and fresh herbs.
