How To Make Keto Hoagie Rolls: Step-By-Step Guide
Cooking methods
Preparation steps
- Measure out all ingredients and set them aside.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter in a small bowl.
- Separate egg whites from the yolks and keep them in a separate bowl.
Cooking instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Stir in apple cider vinegar and egg whites. Mix thoroughly until the dough is thick and sticky.
- Slowly pour in the boiling water, stirring continuously. The dough will thicken and become slightly stretchy as the psyllium husk absorbs the liquid.
- Divide the dough into 4-6 portions, depending on your preferred roll size. Shape each into an oval or hoagie roll form and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- For added flavor and a golden crust, brush each roll with melted butter.
- Finally, place the dough in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the rolls are firm and golden brown.
- Let the rolls cool slightly before slicing; they’ll continue to firm up as they cool.
Chef's pro tip
For the perfect texture, make sure your water is boiling hot when you add it to the dough. This activates the psyllium husk and helps create the bread-like consistency that makes these keto rolls satisfying.

I must have missed something, it is tough to get golden brown when the dough is black. The bread actually turned out pretty good but definitely was not the consistency or color of a hoagie role. I would love to know what I did wrong. Also i doubled ingredients and only formed 6 rolls.

Hi Kyle,
Thanks for the feedback! 🌟 The dark color likely came from the psyllium husk powder—some brands turn baked goods purple or black. We recommend a light-colored one. Also, doubling the recipe and making only 6 rolls may have made them denser than intended. Try shaping into 8 next time for a lighter texture. Glad it still tasted great! 🥖😊

This recipe does not work and is a waste of ingredients

Hi Andy,
Sorry to hear that! Can you tell us a bit more about what didn’t work for you—whether it was the texture, how they baked up, or something else? We’d really appreciate the feedback so we can understand what happened.
