Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (unsweetened, full-fat)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, almond flour, baking powder, salt, and psyllium husk powder until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, Greek yogurt, and olive oil until smooth. Gradually stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing well to form a thick dough.
Add the water slowly, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together and is easy to handle but not overly sticky.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a long loaf or sandwich roll shape, depending on your preference, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of each loaf for added texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the loaves sound hollow when tapped on the underside.
Allow the bread to cool slightly on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Use these whole wheat heroes as buns for your favorite fillings or as a standalone snack.
