This bread does not behave like regular bread. It is lighter, slightly hollow inside, and designed for low-carb eating, not to mimic classic bakery rolls.

This psyllium husk bread is one of the recipes that makes low-carb eating actually doable for me.

I did not gain weight overnight.
I gained about 10 pounds over 10 years, slowly and quietly, while raising kids, traveling, working, and cooking for everyone else first.

I eat low carb now not to diet, but to naturally reduce calories, feel full longer, and feel better in my clothes, without tracking every bite or skipping meals.

These bread rolls help with exactly that.

They are simple, filling, and practical.
Not perfect bread. Functional bread for real life.

Why This Psyllium Husk Bread Works

  • Most low-carb bread fails because it is either too dry, too dense, or not filling enough.
  • This recipe works because of balance.
  • Psyllium husk provides structure, elasticity, and serious fiber.
  • Almond flour adds fat and flavor so the bread does not feel like diet food.
  • A small amount of coconut flour absorbs excess moisture.
  • Egg whites keep the rolls lighter.
  • Apple cider vinegar improves texture and rise.
  • The result is bread that is soft inside, lightly crisp outside, and very satisfying.

Ingredients (Makes 12 Rolls)

1โ…“ cups ground psyllium husk powder
1ยผ cups almond flour
1 tablespoon coconut flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup hot water
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
3 egg whites
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, optional for topping

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

Use finely ground psyllium husk powder, not whole husks.
Do not add more coconut flour. It is very absorbent.
Whole eggs will make the bread heavier, so egg whites work best.
Sesame seeds are optional but add crunch and flavor.

How to Make Psyllium Husk Bread Rolls

1.Mix the dry ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the psyllium husk powder, almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until evenly combined.

2. Add the liquids
