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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and melt the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to cool slightly, then combine with the eggs.

Step 5

Pour the yeast mixture into the egg and butter mixture. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten slightly into a roll shape.

Step 8

Roll each pandesal in the pork rind crumbs to coat them evenly.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pandesal are golden brown.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these low carb pandesal as a snack or part of a meal!
