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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, almond flour, baking powder, salt, and psyllium husk powder until well combined.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Add the water slowly, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together and is easy to handle but not overly sticky.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of each loaf for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.
