Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 4 tablespoons psyllium husk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3 egg whites
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 egg yolk (for brushing)
Toppings
- Sesame seeds (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk, baking powder, dry yeast, and salt. Mix thoroughly with a spoon until evenly distributed.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour in the egg whites, warm water, and apple cider vinegar. Stir until the mixture begins to form a dough.
- Knead the dough: Use your hands to knead gently until the dough is uniform in texture and well combined.
- Rest the dough: Let the dough sit for 10–15 minutes to allow the psyllium husk to hydrate and firm up the dough for better texture.
- Shape the buns: Divide the dough into six equal portions. Shape each portion into a roll or bun shape.
- Prepare for baking: Place the shaped buns on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the egg yolk for a shiny golden finish and sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired.
- Bake: Bake for 40–45 minutes total. Use bottom heat only for the first 20 minutes, then switch to top and bottom heat for the remaining 20–25 minutes until the buns become golden brown and feel firm to the touch.
- Cool down: Allow the buns to cool completely before slicing or serving to let the texture fully set.
Notes
- Allowing the dough to rest is crucial for the psyllium husk to absorb moisture and create structure.
- Brushing with egg yolk gives the buns a beautiful golden crust; you can skip this for a paler, matte finish.
- Using dry yeast helps improve the bread’s texture, but it’s optional if you want a quicker recipe.
- Store buns in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
- For a nut-free option, consider replacing almond flour with coconut flour, but adjust quantities and liquids accordingly.
