Ingredients

100 grams vital wheat gluten (¾ cup)
50 grams blanched almond flour (½ cup)
50 grams flaxseed meal, golden or dark (½ cup)
25 grams dark rye flour
1 ½ teaspoons instant yeast
½ teaspoon salt
150 grams warm water (120-130 degrees) (½ cup plus 2 ½ tablespoons)
1 tablespoon sweetener of your choice (I like allulose blends) (heaping if using allulose)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons additional water (if needed)

Instructions

Combine vital wheat gluten, almond flour, flaxseed, rye flour, yeast, salt, and sweetener in the bowl of a stand mixer. Pour in the very warm water, then give it a stir and add the oil. Stir until it comes together.
Put the bowl on the mixing stand, attach the dough hook and begin kneading. It might break apart a little as it kneads, and that is okay. Knead for about 3 minutes with the hook, then remove from the stand and test the consistency. It should hold together, though it might break into two parts, and should be malleable. If it feels dry, add another tablespoon or two of water. Knead for a few more minutes with the hook.
Once dough is kneaded and has a bit of elasticity to it, divide it into either 6 or 8 equal pieces. The best way to do this is to pat it into a rectangle and cut it into squares or rectangles. Put the pieces in a greased or nonstick foil lined pan, spacing at least 2 inches apart. Alternatively, put them in a very well greased muffin tin dusted with almond flour.
Let the dough rise in a fairly warm place for about an hour. The dough will not double in size, but the dough will expand. Brush tops with a little egg white and sprinkle with some seeds if you like.
After about 40 minutes, put the rolls in a cold oven, set heat to 350 and timer for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, the rolls should have risen substantially and browned. Check the internal temperature of one to make sure they are done. Rolls should be around 200 degrees F. or more. You can also bake in a preheated oven in which case they should take about 25 minutes.
