FAQs
Q: Can I use regular flour instead of almond or coconut flour?

Q: Do I need psyllium husk powder?
A: Psyllium helps bind the dough. You can try a substitute, but results may differ.
Q: Can I make the dough ahead of time?
A: Yes. Keep shaped rolls in the fridge for a few hours before cooking.
Q: How do I know when rolls are done inside?
A: They should be golden and spring back lightly when pressed. Cut one open to check if unsure.
Q: Is the honey required?
A: No. Honey is optional for a mild sweet note. You can skip it or use a sugar alternative.
