These soft and buttery rolls are like the beloved Tagalong bread but made into a Keto diet Filipino version. Typically, these Pinoy rolls are served for breakfast on noisy street corners. The name “pandesal” means salted bread, but they are more sweet than salty. Tender, low carb bread is made from a mixture of almond flour, psyllium husk, cream, and butter. The result is a soft, fluffy bread with a hint of sweetness. The rolls are coated with an almond flour breading then baked to golden brown perfection. These rolls are simple and easy to make and require minimal baking skills. ### How do I know they are finished baking? The rolls will be lightly golden brown and will not collapse after baking. If they do start to collapse, immediately place them back into the oven and allow them to rise again and give them another 20 minutes or so at 300 F. ### Can I substitute the psyllium husk powder? No, psyllium husk is crucial for the structure of this dough. It is easy to find on online retailers like Amazon. It is a common ingredient for Keto baked goods, so that you will use it again. ### How can I store finished bread rolls? Low carb bread tends to spoil quickly, so be sure to keep this in the fridge for up to one week or in the freezer in an airtight container or bag. ### What can I serve with the rolls? You can serve these rolls with softened butter or try them with Keto Spam Musubi https://www.carbmanager.com/recipe/keto-spam-musubi.

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spray an 8” by 12” pan with nonstick cooking spray. Combine the almond flour, psyllium husk, kosher salt, baking powder, apple cider vinegar, and Swerve together in the bowl of a stand mixer.
Combine cream and water together in a heatproof measuring cup and then heat it in the microwave for one minute until hot. Add the hot cream mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well until combined. Add one egg and the melted butter and mix well.
The dough will be very soft at this point, but easy enough to work with if you use a cookie scoop to portion the dough into eight sections. Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough into eight sections.
Add ⅓ cup almond flour to a bowl. Roll each into a ball and then place it into the almond flour to coat it all over.
