Sandwich Rounds {almond flour}

August 19, 2013 by Erica 131 Comments

Comfy Belly: Sandwich Rounds

Ok, let’s talk sandwich rounds.

There a couple of bread recipes in my cookbook, Cooking for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, that you can use to make sandwiches, including this recipe for flat rolls or sandwich “rounds”. It produces a round piece of bread that tastes like a sweet roll, doesn’t fall apart, and is easily tweaked to your liking. They don’t have much elevation so they’re not a typical roll, really more of a hybrid of a roll and a flat bread.

To create variety try different toppings. My personal favorite is a pinch of sea salt, poppy seeds, and sesame seeds. Onion and garlic bits or dried garlic powder would be good too. Sprinkle the topping after the rounds are poured onto the cookie sheets, and then bake. Read the recipe head notes to the recipe for tips on reducing the sweetness and adding an egg wash close to the end of the baking time.

My favorite use of these rounds is for panini or grilled sandwiches like the apple, cheese, mustard panini in the book and in the photo below. And here’s a fun site for more panini ideas.

Sandwich Rounds {almond flour}

This recipe is from my cookbook, Cooking for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet
These are a bit on the sweet side so to make them a bit less sweet you can probably remove 1 tablespoon of the honey from the recipe and replace it with a tablespoon of yogurt or milk (this needs to be tested). You can also add a pinch of salt for a slightly salty sandwich round. Some readers have omitted the sweetener entirely and say they still taste great! 
For the version with coconut milk there's no need to spread them out; just pour the batter on the baking sheet and leave about 2 inches of space between each round. The yogurt batter is thicker so you might want to spread them a bit if you want them wider, or add more batter.
To make these dairy-free replace the yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt or dairy-free milk. To give the tops a shine brush them with egg white about 5 minutes before they're ready to come out of the oven. If you find that you’re going through these rounds rather quickly, you can double or triple the recipe and then store the rounds sealed in the refrigerator for about a week, or freeze for a month or so. Place parchment or wax paper between the rolls to keep them from sticking. 
And if you want perfect sandwich rounds, a reader uses these muffin top pans for this recipe. 
This recipe makes about 12 small or 6 large rounds. 
 
Servings: 12 rounds
Calories: 205kcal

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup yogurt (or coconut milk or other milk)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (or ghee, coconut oil, or shortening)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon toppings such as poppy seeds sesame seeds (optional)
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F/175°C. Line 2 ore 3 (depending their size) baking sheets with nonstick baking mats, parchment paper, or other nonstick material.
  • Place all the ingredients, except any toppings, in a food processor or blender; blend until creamy. Alternatively, you can blend with a mixer or whisk.
  • Pour 2 tablespoons of batter into pancake-like circles onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each roll. Feel free to make larger rolls by adding another tablespoon or so. If the batter is thick you can spread it around a bit with the back of a spoon.
  • Sprinkle with your chosen toppings and bake for 15 minutes, or until the rolls brown slightly on top. If you’re making larger rolls, they’ll take a few more minutes to brown and firm up sufficiently. Don’t be afraid to go a little brown with these—that will make them firmer and add a tasty crunch at the edges.
  • Slide a knife or spatula under each roll and remove to a cooling rack. Let cool completely, seal, and store in the refrigerator for a week or so or in the freezer for a few months.

    Erica,
    Thank you for taking the initiative to create this recipe for your son. I hope he’s well.
    I have food allergies and am grateful to find recipes like this so I can enjoy eating normal meals again.
    I’ve been eating paninis for the first time in a decade using these rounds. I’m so appreciative.
    I will definitely purchase your cookbook.
    Cheers

    Doing them for dinner tonight. I wonder if you could check your cup/ g conversions in the recipe. I just made this and a cup of yoghurt is about 240 g. I made this using the 57 g of coconut milk but feel it maybe should be about 200g?

    I love this recipie & your cookbook! I recently had to cut out eggs. I’ve been looking at your egg replacement suggestions in the cookbook & in some SCD community forums, but not feeling confident about how to adapt things. Do you think gelatin egg or another SCD legal egg sub would work with these? I read don’t try to sub with a recipie calling for more than 2 eggs. Do you have any advice for this recipie or in general? I consider you a genius! Thanks in advance!

    Hello,

    Just wanted to let you know I have been making your recipe for sandwich rounds for about 6 months now. I love them. Today I made a few batches and forgot to add in the maple syrup. (I useUncle Luke’s No.3 dark syrup) When the 1st batch came out of the oven I thought maybe it would be yummy to drizzle the rounds with syrup. Delicious!! Give it a try!

    Hi Erica, I have two sons. My younger son has Crohn’s and is on SCD. My older son does not have health issues and still eats some foods that are not SCD legal. I have been wondering how hard it would be for my younger son if they had a friend over during meal time. I was concerned that I would need to feed the friend a meal that was not too odd for him. Which would leave my younger son watching his brother and their friend eating “normal food” while he ate his SCD meal. We had a friend over today during lunch so I tried this sandwich round recipe for grilled cheese and it totally made my whole week!!!! All of us tried them and everyone loved them. I could have surely made everyone’s sandwich with these. Eating them made me never want to eat any type of traditional bread ever again. Thank you so much for allowing my son to have a moment of normalcy where he didn’t feel like an outcast as he eats SCD food. Additionally, thank you so much for giving away so many free recipes on your site. I have not had the financial resources to invest in any SCD cookbooks yet so what we get on the web is it. We love your site and have enjoyed more of your recipes than any other in the past month. We really appreciate you!!!

    Made these today. Love them and so does my 4 year old son. Hubby felt they were too sweet so next time I’ll cut the MS out so we can use them for burgers and sandwiches but for now they’ll be great for breakfast for my son. FYI – my son has CF so the added wonderful fats is awesome!! Where else can you make a piece of “bread” with such a high fat value!!
    Wondering if anyone has ever added seasonings to the mix IE – garlic or italian??

      yes, they are on the sweet side of things, which can easily be remedied by reducing the sweetener or swapping in salt and spices (as you mention).

I added in 1/2 cup honey, 2 cups chopped walnuts, 1 cup shredded coconut (I will probably add more next time), 1 tablespoon vanilla, 1/2 tsp salt. I finally have cookies I like! halved the yogurt since I was increasing the honey.

    I have made these with coconut milk and yogurt. I was very (pleasantly) surprised at the difference. The coconut milk recipe was much firmer-great for personal size pizza crust. The yogurt was much lighter in color and fluffier (turned the heat down in the oven to 300 degrees F for the second batch). Love this recipe. Going to try for cookies next with the honey, and maybe some nuts and dates.

        you can get it from a Spice store online such as Penzy’s, make it yourself, or some markets may have it ready-made.

    I used coconut/palm sugar (instead of honey) and regular milk in mine. Since they’re cooked, the palm sugar works nicely. Also, it doesn’t work well to spray cookie sheets, they spread out way more and still stick. The silpat ones came out much thicker and didn’t burn like the others did.

      great to hear – I’ll have to try that. Sounds like a slightly denser bread with gluten-free oats – magic.

    I omitted the honey. Added 1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar. Cut the coconut milk to 3/4 cup. I LOVE THESE!

    Yes you can use squash, and also sprinkle in some psylium husk as well instead of eggs. Binds everything nicely.

    Hope this helps, james

    You can substitute soaked, sprouted and dehydrated sunflower seed flour for almond flour
    in any recipe I’ve tried so far. Organic sunflower seeds are easier to come by and less pricey than almonds. I haven’t tried this recipe with sunflower seeds yet, but will post once I do.

    ? for you….has anyone tried making this without the eggs? We have one with egg allergies, so wondered if I could use squash or some other liquid that might bind in place enough for these to work? She is also allergic to flax seed and other obvious egg substitutes.
    Thanks!

      I tried this today and subbed in tapioca flour for 1/3 of the flour total as I ran out of almond flour. I did not use eggs – just a splash of milk extra. They were absolutely perfect – soft enough to be yummy, but held together to the last bite of ham and cheese sandwich!

    THESE ARE FANTASTIC! I’ve been panini deprived since I went GF 18 months ago. I made 2 panini sandwiches this weekend, so far! Now I’m going to try a couple rounds for the burgers my husband is grilling…

    Thank you so much!

      yes, a reader said she had success mixing almond and coconut flour together (it’s on facebook but I’ll copy it here).

      From Karen: “I was short 1/2 c. of almond flour and replaced it with 2T. Coconut flour. They turned out great with a little bit lighter texture. I also topped some with cinnamon, they make a great quick breakfast to go.”

    We used 1 cup of kefir and ended up with a pancake batter…we wondered if 1 cup of liquid was a typo? We ended up with one solid joined together “pancake” on the parchment paper and the rest of the batter we cooked in a muffin top pan and they turned out like muffins. They do taste good.

        the batter is like a thick pancake batter and that’s ok, just measure out what you need (1-2 tablespoons for a round) and leave about 2 inches of space between rounds.

    OH. MY. WOW. I made this over the weekend, and it is spectacular! I say “this” and “it” only bc I ended up spreading the batter in to a long rectangular pan and then cutting it equally for sandwich tops and bottoms. It is even better toasted or pan “fried” 🙂 Making another batch today, only this time I am using a muffin top pan! Definitely a keeper <3

    How sturdy are these? I’ve been using the “Sandwich Buns” recipe from Melissa on Satisfying Eats and they’re wonderful, but not very sturdy at all…they are a coconut flour/almond flour mix. 🙂

      I’ve only tested with almond flour so far, but I bet another nut flour or seed flour would work. Let us know if you try it.

    So what happens if you omit the sweetener? if you want it to be more like regular bread without a sweetness to it? Does it not taste good?

    I can’t seem to get hold of blanched almond flour, and I’ve just read an article saying that too much almond flour is bad for you. I wondered if you have tried making this recipie with coconut flour, do you think that would work?

      Yes, you don’t want to fill up on too much almond flour but these are quite thin and mostly egg and flour. That said, I avoid breads that are heavy on nuts as well, so I agree with you (that goes for cashews, almonds, pecans, and others). I would like to create something like this using coconut flour. Just hasn’t happened yet. Best wishes.

      If you want to use coconut flour use the same amount as you would almond flour but you will need to add and extra egg, because it is a drier flour.
