Baking Together: Step-by-Step Guide for Keto Buns
Ready to bake some delicious Keto Buns? This straightforward process ensures soft, fluffy results every time. Follow these steps for perfect low-carb bread.
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a microwave safe bowl, add the shredded cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 20 second spurts, until the cheese is mostly melted. Remove and whisk together, until combined and smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.
- Transfer the warm cheese mixture into a food processor. Add the dry ingredients, along with the eggs, and pulse until a thick dough remains.
- Lightly dust a kitchen surface with almond flour. Transfer the dough onto it, and, using slightly wet hands, knead it several times. Once the dough is smooth, divide it into 6 portions. Roll the portions of dough into balls and place them on the lined tray. Press down onto each one into a thinner burger bun shape. Brush the tops with the remaining egg (whisked), before sprinkling the sesame seeds on top.
- Bake the buns for 14-17 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes, before slicing in half and serving.
Ava’s Warm Tips from the Kitchen
Here are some handy tips to ensure your Keto Buns turn out perfectly every time.
- Cheese Temperature: Ensure the melted cheese mixture is warm, not hot, to avoid cooking the eggs prematurely in the dough.
- Serving Warm: These buns shine when served warm. Reheat in the microwave for 20 seconds if they cool down too much.
- Portion Control: For slider-sized buns, make smaller dough balls and reduce baking time by a couple of minutes for best results.
