Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
- 1 tablespoon Ground flaxseed meal
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, add almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, ground flaxseed meal, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together thoroughly to combine and remove any lumps.
Crack the eggs into the dry mixture and add the apple cider vinegar. Mix until a dough begins to form.
Pour the boiling water into the dough mixture and stir quickly with a spatula until the dough comes together into a thick, pliable mass. Let it rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the psyllium husk and flaxseed meal to absorb the liquid fully.
Using slightly moist hands, divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape them into elongated rolls (about 5-6 inches long) for a hero-style bun.
Place the shaped dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each roll for expansion during baking.
If desired, sprinkle the tops of the rolls with sesame seeds and gently press them into the dough for better adherence.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before slicing or serving.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
