How to Make Fluffy Chickpea Flour Herb Rolls

1. Preheat Your Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder. Stir in the dried herbs for a fragrant, herby kick. This is the base of your dough, so make sure it’s well combined.

3. Combine the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, mix together the olive oil, water, apple cider vinegar, and maple syrup (or honey). Whisk to combine and ensure the liquids are fully incorporated.

4. Make the Dough

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until the mixture comes together into a dough. The dough will be slightly sticky, but it should be thick enough to scoop and shape. If it seems too wet, add a little more chickpea flour until it reaches the right consistency.

5. Shape the Rolls

Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of dough at a time and gently roll it into a ball. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. If you like, you can brush the tops of the rolls with a bit more olive oil for a golden, crispy finish.

6. Bake to Perfection

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and cooked through. You can test for doneness by inserting a toothpick—if it comes out clean, the rolls are ready!

7. Cool and Serve

Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. These rolls are best enjoyed warm, but they can be stored in an airtight container for a couple of days. You can also reheat them in the oven or microwave to bring back their soft, fluffy texture.

Flavor Variations & Tips

Add cheese: For an extra layer of flavor, mix in some grated Parmesan or cheddar into the dough. This will give the rolls a cheesy, savory edge.
Fresh herbs: If you have fresh herbs on hand, feel free to use them instead of dried. Rosemary, thyme, and basil work especially well in this recipe.
Garlic butter: For extra indulgence, brush the rolls with garlic butter right after baking for a decadent finish.
Spice it up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of paprika to the dough for a subtle kick of heat.
