Golden Yeast Rolls

I have been trying to get a really nice low carb yeast roll that rises up, looks great and tastes terrific.  I finally have one that makes me very proud!  It uses Carbquick low carb flour, which you can purchase through Amazon or Netrition.com.   Other flours you could use are Bob’s Red Mill Baking Mix, which might be at your grocery store, although it is higher in carbs.  Also LC Foods makes several flours, including one for breads.

I also used a plain whey protein powder  and an egg white powder to add to the texture and lift.  They are not required, but helpful if you have them.  If you don’t use the optional items, then add the equivalent amount of Carbquick.

Golden Yeast Rolls

3/4 cup Carbquick
1 tablespoon Wheat Germ
1 tablespoon Oat Fiber (optional)
1 tablespoon Plain Whey Powder (optional)
1 tablespoon Egg White Powder (optional)
3 Eggs
1 packet Quick Rising Yeast
1/4 cup warm Water
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/4 teaspoon Salt
2 tablespoons Sugar Substitute

Put warm water in a small recipe bowl. Sprinkle yeast on top to soften and let sit about 5 minutes. Stir.

Mix dry ingredient together. Add wet ingredients, including the yeast and mix well. Stir to incorporate all the flour into the batter and make a thick dough. Set in a warm place and cover with a clean towel. Allow to rise 30 minutes. Stir down.

Prepare cupcake molds by spraying with cooking spray. Spoon batter into molds, dividing evenly. Put pan in warm place and cover. Let it rise 15 minutes while you preheat the oven to 365 degrees.

Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown. Remove and cool.

Makes 6 rolls.
