I have yet to find a good AIP store that bought bread brands, so I figured I would make my own! These AIP Bread Rolls are seriously to die for. They are nice and soft, flakey and just so delicious. They only require 20 minutes of hands on time which makes them super easy to make too!

Why You Will Love This Recipe
- They are super simple to make! There are so many AIP recipes out there that are so complicated and this once is super easy.
- These grain free bread rolls hold up so nicely in the fridge which makes this a good recipe option to prep in advance.
- Kids will love this recipe.
- This recipe is naturally gluten free, dairy free, soy free, and grain free.
- They are the perfect addition to any meal such as my gluten free lasagna recipe.
Ingredients
- Tapioca flour-I do not suggest changing out the flours here. It is super important to use tapioca as this recipe cannot be used interchangeably. Tapioca flour will give these homemade grain free rolls a nice crispy crust.
- Coconut flour-This works nicely with the tapioca flour to give a nice dense yet fluffy roll.
- Baking soda-To help the rolls rise.
- Garlic powder, thyme, oregano-For flavor.
- Olive oil-My oil of choice here. You can use avocado oil but it may change the flavor a bit.
- Green onions-For a crunch and flavor.
- Gelatin-In place of an egg. You can read more about gelatin as an egg replacement HERE.
- Water-To make the gelatin egg.
For the garlic butter:
- Ghee-Ghee is technically dairy free because all of the milk proteins are removed from it. If you want to save money (who doesn’t) check out how to make your own HERE. You can substitute the ghee for coconut milk if you do not tolerate ghee.
- Garlic-For flavor.
- Turmeric and salt- For taste and flavor.

These are absolutely delicious! Super simple to make and I love that I can make them ahead of time and store in the fridge for the week!
Allianna Moximchalk says
So glad you enjoyed these as much as I did 🙂
Sara says
This was delicious. My husband also loved it and asked for more :). I followed the recipe true for the flour. I added double the green onions and I didn’t have thyme so used Italian seasoning. The flavor was amazing! The only issue I had was that the shape didn’t hold for me and it ended up looking like flat cookies. Next time, I’ll try putting them into muffin trays to hold their shape. Thanks for the recipe! Will definitely make this again.
Allianna Moximchalk says
So glad you enjoyed! Thanks for your review, Sara!
Tina says
The rolls flatten for me too. Any suggestions to hold their shape like in there pictures?
Allianna Moximchalk says
Oh no! Did you add in the baking soda and gelatin egg?
Amber says
These are amazing! They flattened for me, too. But I don’t mind. The taste was worth it. And they were easy to make. I am not great in the kitchen, so it was nice to have an AIP recipe that tasted so good for minimal effort.
Allianna Moximchalk says
I am so glad you enjoyed them Amber!
Sata says
Just wanted to provide an update — I tried the muffin tray and the texture was not good, so we won’t do that again. However, I then tried this technique and now it consistently holds its shape: make each roll smaller, shape them into a more compact roll, and then press down slightly so it flattens a bit. I make these almost daily now, and can’t thank you enough for this recipe.

This makes me so happy to hear Sara!! xoxo

Dear Allianna,
I need your advice! The shape is very good for me, the taste also, outside – crispy (love it!!), but the inside part is “gummy”….If I keep them in the oven for more minutes, outside will be too dry, not much changes insidw…do you use up&bottom baking or air-circulating? Or if you have any other suggestion, please, let me know 🙂 Thank you!
Allianna Moximchalk says
Hi! Thanks for your feedback, did you follow the recipe to a T?
Pat says
Really enjoyed these, thanks! I took a chance and swapped out the tapioca flour with Condo cassava flour (bought here in Portugal), and cooked them in the air fryer for 16 mins at 190C and they turned out great.
Allianna Moximchalk says
This makes me happy to hear! xoxo
Kim says
This is my favorite AIP “bread” recipe. A couple notes: it has no salt, so add salt if you like it. Also, I find the buns eassier to form if I let the dough sit for 10-15 minutes. It makes the dough less sticky.
This makes me so happy to hear!
Kate says
Finally a bread alternative that tastes good and isn’t difficult to make.Thank you!
For those ending up with a gummy inside, it may be the tapioca flour brand asI’ve found it makes a big difference.
You are so welcome! xoxo
Yay this makes me so happy to hear!
Heather says
I love these so much! It’s SO enjoyable to have something healthy that resembles a bread roll. I add turmeric and salt to the dough, and love flake salt baked on the top. They’re tasty and satisfying! My only issue is that the inside is “gummy”, so as another reviewer suggested, I’ll try a different brand of tapioca. Thank you so much!
You are so welcome! xoxo
Heather says
I tried a different brand of tapioca powder (Arrowhead Mills) and made sure to let them cool entirely and they turned out perfect! These will definitely be in the regular rotation in my house. Just gotta make them in double batches, so they’re not all eaten right away. Lol They’re so good the next day, too! Thank you, again!
