Whether as an accompaniment to dinner or as a bun for your favorite sandwich fillings, these soft, spongy, buttery keto-friendly rolls make carb-light eating easy. Use your preferred sugar substitute to give these rolls a well-rounded flavor and to ensure the rolls turn beautifully golden brown.
To make the dough: Weigh your flour; or measure it by gently spooning it into a cup, then sweeping off any excess. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix and knead — by hand or using a stand mixer — until the dough comes together in a smooth, elastic ball. This should take 5 to 7 minutes on low speed of a mixer and slightly longer by hand.
Cover the dough and let it rise for 1 to 2 hours, or until it's puffy and close to double in size.
Gently deflate the dough and divide it into six pieces; if you have a scale each piece should weigh between 80g and 85g. Shape the pieces into round balls and place them on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet or into a lightly greased 8" or 9" round pan (for pull-apart rolls). Cover the rolls and let them rise for about an hour, until noticeably puffy.
Toward the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 350°F.
To top the rolls: Brush the rolls with about 1 tablespoon of the melted butter.
Bake the rolls for 20 to 24 minutes, until golden. Remove them from the oven, and brush with the remaining melted butter. Cool them on a rack.
Store leftover keto-friendly rolls, well wrapped, at room temperature for several days; freeze for longer storage.
