Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 242kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups almond flour superfine
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded, low-moisture
- 2 oz cream cheese softened
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 1/2 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp xanthan gum optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F / 180°C and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until melted, then stir until smooth. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum if using.
- Add the melted cheese mixture and eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms. The dough will be sticky at first, but it will become easier to handle as it cools slightly.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and shape each piece into a hot dog bun. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with beaten egg, if using.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Let the buns cool for a few minutes before slicing. Fill with hot dogs, sausages, or your favorite low-carb toppings.
Notes
- Use low-moisture shredded mozzarella, not fresh mozzarella.
- Let the melted cheese cool slightly before adding the eggs.
- Lightly oil your hands if the dough is sticky.
- For sturdier buns, let them cool before slicing.
- Toast before serving for the best texture.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
