Ingredients

1 package 2-1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
1/4 cup hot water
3/4 cup unsweetened almond or cashew milk
1/4 cup unsalted grass fed butter
1/4 cup cooking coconut oil the "tasteless" kind
4 teaspoons THM Super Sweet Blend or equivalent sweetener
2 teaspoons salt
4 cups sprouted wheat flour (more if necessary)
3 large eggs beaten

For Brushing

1/2 cup unsalted grass fed butter

Instructions

In a small bowl or measuring cup, activate the yeast by sprinkling it over the hot water and letting it rest until bubbly.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, scald the milk. When tiny bubbles begin to form around the edges of the milk, it's hot enough. Remove from the heat, add the 1/4 cup butter, coconut oil, sweetener, and salt; set aside to cool until touchably warm.
Once the milk mixture has cooled enough, mix together 4 cups flour, yeast water, milk mixture, and egg. Add more flour 1 tablespoon at a time as necessary until the dough is soft but not sticky.
Knead for 10 minutes by hand or for about 5 minutes in a mixer with a kneading hook.
Put in a greased bowl; turn once to grease all sides. Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and place in a warm place to rise until double, about 1 1/2 hours. You know it has risen enough when the indentations from two fingers fail to spring back.
When the dough has risen enough, melt the 1/2 cup butter. If desired, add garlic powder and herbs to taste.
Punch down the dough. Divide into three equal parts. Roll each part into a 14-inch circle. Brush some of the melted butter over the surface of the circles. Cut each circle into 12 more-or-less even triangular pieces (a pizza cutter works well for this).
Roll each triangle from wide end to pointy end, stretching the wide end wider if necessary. Place on a greased baking sheet, pointy side down. Brush each roll with more butter.
Cover and let rise again in a warm place for about 1 hour.
Bake at 350° Fahrenheit for 20 to 25 minutes or until lightly browned on top.

Notes

THM Note: While on THM and with making this recipe using the specific THM friendly ingredients (including the ones linked to), you can have up to 2 per FP meal and 1 per S meal (this makes either meal an SH). If you're maintaining or want an occasional on-plan treat, 1 in an E setting or 2 in an S setting is good (this lifts it into XO realm). EACH roll has about 7 grams of fat and about 4.5 net carbs.
