Always having a Healthy and low-carb option around is a must if you are doing a low-carb o keto Diet.
I usually prepare this buns and keep them in the fridge or freezer so they are accessible at any time, specially when you have no time to bake but your are hungry.
It is a very good option to avoid grabbing the first white, regular bread that shows up in this situations.
It only takes 5 minutes to prepare the dough and 50 minutes approximately bake in the oven.
The recipe is for about 6 small buns, but usually I double the quantities and make them in different shapes and sizes, so I will have for little breakfasts, burger buns or for Subway type of shape.
Servings: 6 – 8 buns / Prep time: 5 min. /
Cooking time: 50 to 60 min / Total time: 65 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup of almond flour
- 5 tablespoons psyllium husk powder
- 2 teaspoons aluminum-free baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 225 ml of boiling water
- 3 egg whites
- 2 tbsp. sesame seeds for garnish
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 ° F (175 ° C).
Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl.
Add the vinegar and egg whites to the dry ingredients and mix well, gradually incorporating the boiling water while mixing with a hand mixer for about 30 seconds. Don’t beat the dough too much, just do it for a few seconds.
The dough is ready when it has a clay-like consistency. All of the water may not be used to get that consistency.
Moisten your hands and make 6 or 8 pieces of bread with the dough. Place them on a greased baking sheet.
Bake on a lower rack in the oven for 50-60 minutes. They can be turned halfway through to achieve a more even cooking.
The loaves are ready when you hear a hollow sound when you touch the bottom with your fingers.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 20 minutes before consuming, to minimize moisture in the crumb. Serve with ghee and toppings of your choice.
You can refrigerate it for up to 4 days or freeze it for 6 months.
Buns before getting into the oven!
