Gluten Free Bread Rolls

This is one of the most popular recipes from our cook alongs.  Finally, a seeded bap recipe that works!! This is a lovely soft roll, easy to make and perfect for lunches or as an accompaniment to soups. They can also be frozen so you can make up a big batch and keep them in the freezer for up to 3 months.  Using Psyllium husks is a great way to help bind the mixture as well as adding plenty of fibre to this recipe.

What’s good about it?

Many gluten free rolls and breads are low in fibre – adding seeds and psyllium husks is a great way to improve the nutrition of these rolls and increase soluble fibre.

 

Did You Know?

You could try to make these vegan by replacing the eggs with a little apple puree – this will make them slightly sweeter. Instead of the seeds for a fruit roll use raisins in the recipe.
