| Preparation Time | 10-15 minutes |
| Cooking Time | 50-60 minutes |
| Total Time | 60-75 minutes |
| Level of Difficulty | Medium |
Ingredients
- 100g/ 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp cottage cheese
- 93g/ 2 eggs
- 4g/ 1 tsp vinegar
- 4g/ 1 tsp baking powder
- Pinch salt
- 18g/ 3 tbsp psyllium husk powder
- 3 tbsp flaxseed meal (optional)
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 320°F (160°C).
This ensures that the buns will bake evenly.
Step 2: Blend the Base Ingredients
In a blender, combine 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon of cottage cheese, and add 2 eggs.
Pour in 1 teaspoon of vinegar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
You can also include any dried herbs or spices at this stage for added flavor.
Blend the mixture for about 10 seconds until everything is well combined.
Step 3: Create the Dough
Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl and add 3 tablespoons of psyllium husk powder or golden flaxseed meal.
Mix until you achieve a consistent dough-like texture, ensuring that all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Step 4: Mold the Buns
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and place them into a silicone bun mold.
If you are using metal molds, be sure to grease them first to prevent sticking.
Cover the molds with foil to create a dome shape, which will allow space for the buns to rise as they bake.
Step 5: Bake the Buns
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
After this initial baking time, carefully remove the foil and return the buns to the oven for an additional 10 minutes to allow them to firm up and gain a nice golden color.
Step 6: Cool and Check the Texture
Once the baking is complete, turn off the oven and let the buns cool inside for about 20 minutes.
This cooling process helps to minimize deflation.
After they have cooled, remove the buns from the mold and slice them open to check the texture.
They should have nice air pockets and be soft and flexible, ready to be enjoyed!
