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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Crack the eggs into the dry mixture and add the apple cider vinegar. Mix until a dough begins to form.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Place the shaped dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each roll for expansion during baking.
Step 7
If desired, sprinkle the tops of the rolls with sesame seeds and gently press them into the dough for better adherence.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Step 9
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before slicing or serving.
Step 10
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
