Ingredients
  

  • 1¼ cups / 140g (4.9 oz) blanched almond flour
  • ¼ cup plus 2 teaspoons / 30g (1.06 oz) psyllium husk powder
  • 2 tablespoons (10 g / 0.35 oz) nutritional yeast
  • 2 teaspoons (8 g / 0.28 oz) baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon (3 g / 0.11 oz) sea salt
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 2 teaspoons (10 ml / 0.3 fl oz) apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup (240 ml) hot water
  • 2 tablespoons (30 g / 1.06 oz) Everything Bagel Seasoning
  • Use psyllium husk *powder*, not whole husks. The powder is much more absorbent and creates the correct bread-like texture. Using whole husks will result in a gritty, dense bun.
  • The water must be hot (boiling or near-boiling). This activates the psyllium husk, creating the gel-like structure that holds the dough together.
  • Avoid overmixing the dough once the water is added. Mix just until combined, as overworking it can make the final buns tough and gummy.
  • For the best texture, allow the buns to cool completely before slicing. Slicing them while warm can cause them to be dense and sticky inside.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Prepare Your Oven: Position an oven rack in the lower third of your oven and preheat to 350°F / 175°C.
  3. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  4. Mix Dry : In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, nutritional yeast, baking powder, and sea salt. Break up any clumps for a smooth, even texture.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Add the egg whites and apple cider vinegar to the dry .
  6. Using a rubber spatula, begin to mix as you slowly stream in the hot water.
  7. Stir just until a cohesive dough forms—do not overmix.
  8. Shape and Season: Lightly moisten your hands with water to prevent sticking.
  9. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll them into smooth, hamburger-sized buns.
  10. Arrange them on your prepared baking sheet and generously sprinkle the Everything Bagel Seasoning over the tops.
  11. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 1 hour. The buns are done when they have doubled in size, are firm and crisp on the outside, and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  12. Let them cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and enjoying.
