Hamburger - Sandwich Buns

I know..  How exciting is a picture of plain old white bread?  Well, that depends on which side of bariatric surgery you are standing on! From my point of view, it's one of the most beautiful pictures I've ever posted.  

Here is the recipe for these lovely buns which work great on those occasions when you would KILL for a hamburger or  sandwich. I also use them in the morning for breakfast and toast in my toaster oven and make a nice egg, bacon and cheese sandwich. Works great for any kind of sandwich you may want.

I use a muffin top pan to bake these in.


It really is the best for size and texture that you'll come out with. 

I have not found a bread/bun recipe that I like better so far. And I have tried literally HUNDREDS of them


Hamburger - Sandwich Buns


6 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons almond flour
1 tablespoon psyllium husk powder (also known as unflavored fiber in the drugstore "digestive health" aisle)

In medium bowl add Parmesan cheese, almond flour, psyllium husk powder and baking powder. Whisk together.

COOK'S NOTES : 

• Put all the dry ingredients in a coffee grinder and grind for about 10 - 15 seconds to sift together and get out any clumps. This makes a really nice texture to the buns. 
• For added "yeasty" flavor, add 1 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes to dry ingredients.
• Like any good bread these can be flavored either sweet or savory.  Anything from Cinnamon Raisin to Black Pepper Poppy Garlic..  Experiment!
