Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1/4 cup Coconut flour
- 1 tbsp Baking powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Xanthan gum
- 3 large Eggs
- 1/3 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp Erythritol or other low carb sweetener
- 1/4 cup Warm water
- 2 tsp Dry active yeast
- 1/2 cup Pork rind crumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the warm water and erythritol. Stir in the dry active yeast and let it sit for about 5 minutes or until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and melt the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to cool slightly, then combine with the eggs.
Pour the yeast mixture into the egg and butter mixture. Stir well to combine.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until a dough forms. Allow the dough to rest for 5 minutes to allow the flours to absorb the liquids.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten slightly into a roll shape.
Roll each pandesal in the pork rind crumbs to coat them evenly.
Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each roll. Let the rolls rise in a warm place for about 15 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pandesal are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these low carb pandesal as a snack or part of a meal!
