Ingredients
-
1¼ cups fine almond flour
-
6 TBSP psyllium husk powder, finely ground
-
2 tsp baking powder
-
1 tsp pink Himalayan salt
-
1 ½ tsp apple cider vinegar
-
1 cup boiling water
-
3 large egg whites, room temperature (save yolks for your breakfast!)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Add all the dry ingredients to a medium mixing bowl and stir together with a whisk. - Add the egg whites, vinegar and boiling water. Whisk all the ingredients together until mixed, about 30 seconds. Don't over-mix it, the dough should be soft (it reminds me of thick cream of wheat!).
- Moisten your hands with cold water, shake off the excess water and divide the dough into 6 - 10 pieces depending on what type of bun you want to make. Shape each piece into a hamburger bun, hot dog bun or long bread stick.
- Place the buns onto a baking sheet (no greasing or parchment paper necessary). Space the buns out enough to allow room for them to expand during baking so they do not touch.
- Bake on the middle or lower rack for 40 – 60 minutes depending on the size bun you made (smaller ones would be 40 minutes, larger ones 60 minutes). They should be lightly golden and have a hollow sound when you tap the bottom of the bun.
- Gently transfer the buns to a cooling rack so they can cool completely before cutting. Once cool, use a serrated knife to gently cut them.
Notes
I like toasted buns and while these don't brown evenly, the edges do brown and give them a nice bit of crispiness.
Easy Low Carb Buns, one of the things I knew I would miss when going low-carb and keto was bread. I had always started my day with toast and coffee. Initially, I could not imagine giving it up, but when your health becomes more important, you have to make decisions. So I started by reducing the quantity and finally gave it up.
So many recipes just don’t measure up and after a lot of time spent testing and making adjustments and finally I have something that’s pretty good. While it’s not toast, it makes good burger buns, hotdog buns, breadsticks, bruschetta, and even panini sandwich bread!
