    I've been wanting to create the perfect paleo bread rolls for quite some time. And finally got around to finding the perfect ingredient combination for a doughy, chewy dinner roll that still meets my paleo baking standards.

    The results: these super easy paleo dinner rolls.

    These grain free dinner rolls are made with almond flour and tapioca flour, dairy free yogurt and sweetened with honey. They are completely egg free, grain free and dairy free. Furthermore, these can be paleo vegan dinner rolls if you swap the honey for maple syrup.

    Recipe Highlights

    • paleo friendly: grain free, gluten free, dairy free, no refined sugar, no vegetable oils
    • easily made vegan: swap the honey for maple syrup
    • have the perfect bread roll texture: crisp on the outside with a soft, doughy center
    • easy to make: only a few simple ingredients needed
    • yeast free: dinner rolls without yeast
    • dairy free: no cheese, butter or milk

    You can easily "wow" your guests with these almond flour bread rolls - no one will guess they're paleo. In fact, this recipe has become one of my husband's all time favorites! These rolls have the perfect texture and are full of flavor.

    Ingredients

    Here's what you need to make these almond flour dinner rolls

    • almond flour
    • tapioca flour
    • baking soda
    • salt
    • yogurt
    • honey
    • olive oil
    • garlic powder (optional)

    These rolls are made with a combination of almond flour and tapioca flour, which gives them the perfect texture. Instead of using eggs in this bread roll recipe, I used dairy free yogurt (any type will work). Honey and salt are used to flavor the bread rolls, as they're quite bland without them. And lastly, olive oil is used to grease the baking pan and brush the rolls. Then they're topped with garlic powder for an extra flavor punch.

    How to Make Paleo Dinner Rolls From Scratch

    These paleo bread rolls are super easy to make and can be ready in 30 minutes!

    First, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.

    Then, make the dough by combining the almond flour, tapioca flour, baking soda and salt in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add in the yogurt and honey and mix the dough until just combined. Note: the dough will be quite wet.

    Dust the dough with more tapioca flour and flour the surface you'll be working on. Pick up the dough and roll it into a big ball, then separate the ball into 12 smaller balls. Use more tapioca flour as necessary.

    After that, grab a baking dish (I used a muffin pan) and generously grease it with olive oil. Place the rolls on the greased baking dish.

    Next, brush the rolls with olive oil and sprinkle them with garlic powder.

    how-to-make-dinner-rolls-from-scratch

    Place the almond dinner rolls in the oven and bake them at 375 degrees for 15 minutes. They should come out golden brown (darker on the bottom) with a cracked top.

    Serve immediately or keep warm and serve at a later time.

    Storage

    These homemade paleo bread rolls are best stored in the fridge after a day. Place them in a sealed, air-tight container for up to one week.

    When you're ready to eat them simply reheat the rolls; either in the microwave or pop them in the oven or air fryer at a low temperature to warm.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can these paleo dinner rolls be made nut free?

    Yes! To make these nut free dinner rolls simply swap the almond flour for tigernut flour and use a nut free yogurt.

    Can I use any type of yogurt?

    Any type of yogurt may be used for this recipe. For example, I have tried these rolls with Kitehill unsweetened almond milk yogurt, coconut yogurt and a plain grass fed cow's milk yogurt. They all turned out fantastic!

    Are these vegan dinner rolls?

    These dinner rolls are vegan if you swap the honey for maple syrup.

    Why are my dinner rolls not light and fluffy?

    If you use too much flour, the dinner rolls will turn out hard and dense. The best way to ensure you're using the right amount of flour is to measure the almond flour and tapioca flour by weight (with a small kitchen scale). The dough is quite wet and sticky, but a dusting of tapioca flour makes it easy to work with.

      Hi there!
      I made these amazing dinner rolls with almond flour and also I made them with the tigernut flour for my nut free family members and they turned out fantastic! I’m gluten free, egg free and dairy free and haven’t had bread in a really long time that I like and this recipe was super easy and they taste amazing! I’ve been giving them away as gifts for all my friends with dietary issues and they love them too.

      Happy Thanksgiving! We made these to go with our meal today. I had to add lots more tapioca just to get it smooth enough to make balls, but they came out great and still tasted so good!
      Is pecan flour (or cassava) similar enough to substitute for the almond flour? My husband is sensitive to almond, so I wanted to try it with a different flour. Looking forward to trying your Cassava and rosemary biscuits and apple bagels! Thanks so much for publishing such healthy and delicious paleo recipes! 💕

        Hi! I'm so glad you liked them! The dough is supposed to be quite wet, and they actually have a better texture if you don't use too much more tapioca flour - don't worry about them being in a perfect ball. As far as substitutions, tigernut flour should work in place of the almond flour and possibly pecan. Cassava flour will not work though. And thank you for taking the time to comment and leave a review - that means so much to me! Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving 🙂

      These are the BEST! Being grain free and egg free can be such a bummer for bread-y goods but with these I don’t miss a thing. My preschool kids and husband also love them. I sub 1/4 c of flax meal into the almond flour for a little more depth in flavor and it add that grainy flavor of a whole wheat yeast roll. Seriously! Thank you for this recipe.

      Great basic recipe. Comes together quickly. I used maple syrup & added a tiny bit of dried parsley & garlic powder to the dough. I will add more next time and experiment with different herbs. I used my scoop for cupcakes to portion the dough and it was perfect! I’m planning to freeze some for later (and to keep me from eating the whole dozen 😂)

      These turned out great! Still good the next day too. Very forgiving recipe, I’ve cut it in half when it’s just me and it still works. Just made them again and didn’t have enough almond flour, so I used some cassava which worked and added more flavour. I skip the step of rolling it out onto a surface, not needed at all. I mix it with my hands (found I needed to, to fully mix) so since I’m already in there I just form the balls and add to a baking sheet lined with parchment. Will make again and again, thank you!!!

      I can't wait to make these for Thanksgiving for all our Paleo and Vegan eaters! I always convert my recipes to weight rather than measurements, but if the author provided these then I think I should use theirs. Except it seems your almond flour weight is off. I've seen a lot of different weights by various producers but quite a bit more than 180g for 2 cups.

      Hi Katie, I can’t believe I haven’t tried these before now, they’re scrumptious!
      They turned out a bit fragile, should the mixture have been wetter? I added barely any extra arrowroot for dusting and shaping but maybe the yoghurt conversion wasn’t right? I used around 240g for one US cup (I don’t have any cup measurements). What do you think?
      Nonetheless, I know my AIP daughter will love them when she gets home!
      Thank you.

        Hi Christina! I'm glad you like them - I make these rolls almost every month! I've never had an issue with them being fragile though. Maybe arrowroot makes them more fragile than tapioca starch? 240 grams of yogurt sounds about right.

        You won't be able to taste the yogurt in the rolls. Another thin yogurt would work. I often use Harmless harvest coconut yogurt instead and have also tested the rolls with a regular cow's milk yogurt.
