Ingredients

• 2.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 0.75 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Warm milk (dairy or non-dairy, about 110°F)
• 3 tablespoons Butter (melted, or dairy-free substitute)
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 Eggs
• 1 serving Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water, optional for glaze)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, psyllium husk powder, yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.

Step 2

Add the warm milk, melted butter, apple cider vinegar, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Stir to combine until a sticky dough forms.

Step 3

Using a hand mixer with dough hooks or a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, mix the dough on medium speed for 3-4 minutes. This will help activate the psyllium husk and make the dough easier to shape.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rest for 10 minutes. This allows the psyllium husk to absorb moisture and thicken.

Step 5

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease your hands with oil or water to prevent sticking, then divide the dough into 6 equal portions.

Step 6

Shape each portion into a smooth ball and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Optional: Brush the tops of the buns with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds for added texture and flavor.

Step 8

Loosely cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel and let the buns rise in a warm place for 20-25 minutes. They should puff up slightly.

Step 9

While the buns are rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 10

Bake the buns for 20-25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 11

Allow the buns to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing or serving. Enjoy them as fresh as possible for the best texture.
