Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein and Cheese:
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 ounces (56 grams) cream cheese
- 2 large eggs
Flour and Leavening:
- 1 ¾ cups (196 grams) almond flour
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) baking powder
Instructions
- Prepare the kitchen workspace by arranging a baking tray lined with parchment paper and preheating the oven to a precise 200°C.
- Create a cheese base by melting mozzarella and cream cheese together in a microwave-safe container, stirring between brief heating intervals until the mixture transforms into a smooth, uniform consistency.
- Transfer the warm cheese blend into a food processor, introducing almond flour, baking powder, and eggs to form a cohesive dough through gentle pulsing.
- Dust a clean surface with almond flour and carefully manipulate the dough with dampened hands, kneading until achieving a sleek texture.
- Segment the dough into six symmetrical portions, rolling each into a rounded shape and positioning them on the prepared baking tray.
- Gently flatten each dough ball, creating a classic bun silhouette with consistent dimensions.
- Whisk an additional egg and delicately brush the surface of each bun, optionally embellishing with sesame seeds for enhanced visual and gustatory appeal.
- Position the tray in the preheated oven, allowing the buns to bake until they develop a rich, golden-brown exterior, typically requiring 14-17 minutes.
- Extract the baked buns and permit a brief resting period of approximately five minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Cheese creates a magical keto-friendly base that binds ingredients perfectly.
- Almond flour provides a low-carb alternative to traditional wheat flour, ensuring a guilt-free bread experience.
- Egg wash transforms plain dough into golden, restaurant-worthy buns with minimal extra effort.
