These Garlic Herb Paleo Dinner Rolls come together in one bowl and couldn’t be easier to make. Crisp on the outside, soft and doughy inside, they’re irresistible and family approved! Grain free with dairy free options.
Paleo dinner rolls have been on my “to-make” list for way too long – probably 2 years now.
I guess I figured it would be WAY harder than it turned out to be in the end, after all, traditional dinner rolls involve multiple steps and I honestly never took the time to attempt them.
So, actually delicious crusty-outside-soft-inside paleo dinner rolls just felt way out of reach. But, the push of the holiday season and a few requests from readers motivated me to take the plunge, and WOW, why didn’t I do this 2 years ago?!
The recipe for the rolls are based on my paleo pizza crust, which is a big hit with readers, many who’ve claimed it’s the best one they’ve tried.
So, we go with what’s good, right? A few tweaks to the recipe and method, and a paleo pizza crust becomes garlic herb paleo dinner rolls – YES!
Just like my pizza crust, the dinner rolls are prepared in just one bowl and ready in just over 30 minutes, if you’re quick with your mixing! Can you really beat 30 minute dinner rolls? I think not.
Just as in my pizza crust, I used apple cider vinegar in this recipe to work with the baking soda to help the dough expand/rise. I frequently use raw organic apple cider vinegar in my bread recipes and I swear it does wonders for the rise!
You guys probably already know I’m a big fan of using raw apple cider vinegar in all types of recipes, and Nature’s Intent Organic Apple Cider Vinegar lives up to all my ACV standards. It’s USDA organic, contains the mother, it’s unfiltered and unpasteurized, gluten-free and Kosher.
While the garlic and herbs in the rolls are optional, my kids went wild over the flavor and claimed they tasted like garlic bread from a restaurant (yes I still let the eat bread at restaurants) so I highly recommend you try them this way! You can also experiment with adding in your favorite dried herbs to make them your own.
You’ll notice in the recipe that you can use several different types of fat, in liquid form, for these dinner rolls. I tested them with melted grass fed butter, melted coconut oil, and light flavored olive oil.
So, if you need your rolls to be completely dairy-free in addition to grain free, you’re in luck!
To be honest, my personal favorite version was with the butter, but surprisingly my kids and husband liked the coconut oil ones better (coincidence?!)
The differences were very minimal, however, so I’d say you can use whatever you wish/have on hand without feeling like you’re missing out on anything.
I hope you’re ready for the easiest and BEST paleo dinner rolls you’ll ever make. Let’s get our ovens preheated and grab the measuring cups – enjoy!
Garlic Herb Paleo Dinner Rolls {Grain Free}
Garlic Herb Paleo Dinner Rolls
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup blanched almond flour
- 3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp tapioca flour
- 5 Tbsp coconut flour divided 3 Tbsp + 2
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried chives
- 3/4 tsp Italian seasoning
- 3/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp baking powder **See note for making paleo corn free baking powder, if desired
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/3 cup melted grass fed butter coconut oil, ghee, or light flavored olive oil
- 1/3 cup warm water not hot
- 1 Tbsp Nature’s Intent Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 egg room temp
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Combine dry ingredients in large bowl with just 3 Tbsp coconut flour. Combine butter or oil, water, and vinegar in a measuring cup, then stir the wet mixture into the dry with a wooden spoon.
-
Once a dough forms, stir in the whisked egg. Then, stir in the last two Tbsp of coconut flour one by one, allowing the dough to sit after each Tbsp.
-
If the dough is still a bit sticky after allowing it to sit for a minute (mine was) wet your hands very lightly with a warm water, then carefully shape dough into 7 balls and place on prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush each roll with melted coconut oil or butter (or whatever you used)
-
Bake in the preheated oven on parchment lined baking sheet for 25 minutes or until beginning to turn golden brown. Serve warm and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
*The recipe can be doubled to serve a larger crowd, simply bake on two baking sheets.
**To make paleo-friendly (corn free) baking powder, mix 1 tsp baking soda with 2 tsp cream of tartar. For this recipe, you will need just 1 tsp total of this mixture

I doubled up the recipe because it is very similar to the pizza crust and loved that. My dough was very liquidy and wasn’t able to roll them into balls like your pictures. I followed the recipe exactly with waiting for the dough to “rise” after adding each tbsp of coconut flour. Is there something I did wrong…?
I don’t think the reason for resting after each tbsp of coconut flour is for the batter to rise, I think it is for the coconut flour to absorb the moisture. I really liked these, but mine were very crumbly. Not sure how to fix that.
I love the flavor of these, but mine came out a bit too dry/crumbly. What did I do wrong?
200 calories per one or?
So yummy! Thanks!

These rolls were fabulous! They checked off every box for my dietetic needs! On top of that, my entire family – both vegans and non vegans loved them!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
These were absolutely amazing! My entire family non-vegans and non-grain free folks included LOVED these rolls! Thank you so much! I just purchased your book and can’t wait to try more of your recipes!
So good! 3rd time making this recipe! I did leave out the spices on the second time to see what the rolls tasted like and while it wasn’t bad, it was a little too almond-y for me. This is the ABSOLUTE BEST paleo bread recipe EVER! Thank you so much!
I know I’ve left comments before, but I had to tell about the new variation I made on these rolls! I accidentally added extra vinegar and they ended up tasting like sour cream rolls (if that’s a thing) or sourdough rolls. Be careful with how much extra you add and make sure you add enough salt if you want to try it.
