Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 0.25 cup coconut flour
• 0.5 cup tapioca starch
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 3 large eggs
• 0.25 cup ghee, melted
• 0.5 cup full-fat coconut milk
• 8 ounces thinly sliced ham
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, optional

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs together until slightly frothy, then stir in the melted ghee and coconut milk until combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but hold together well.

Step 5

Place the dough on a sheet of parchment paper and roll it out into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 6

Using a knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 8 triangles. You can create these by first cutting squares, then slicing each square diagonally.

Step 7

Place a slice of ham on the wide end of each triangle, and then roll the dough towards the pointed end, encasing the ham within.

Step 8

Transfer the completed rolls to the prepared baking sheet, making sure to space them evenly.

Step 9

Beat the tablespoon of water with one egg yolk (from one of the separated eggs if using a fourth) to make an egg wash and use a pastry brush to lightly coat each Schinkengipfel with it.

Step 10

Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds over the tops of each roll.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the dough is cooked through.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving warm or at room temperature.
