The right way to Make Gluten-Free Hamburger Buns
These buns start like all good FLUFFY bread recipe: with yeast! Not solely does it enable the dough to rise and stop the buns from being dense and heavy, but it surely gives a traditional hamburger bun taste, too.
After activating the yeast in a mix of warmed dairy-free milk + cane sugar, we add in a magical fiber-filled ingredient that offers these hamburger buns just a little gluten-like texture: psyllium husk! It provides elasticity and suppleness to the dough (a.ok.a. no crumbly buns right here).
As soon as the psyllium has created a gel-like texture, it’s time so as to add the dry elements (brown rice flour, almond flour, potato starch, and sea salt) plus melted butter and apple cider vinegar.
The result’s a sticky dough able to form into buns, let rise in a heat spot, and prime with sesame seeds for a traditional bun look! Bake till flippantly golden then let cool earlier than slicing for greatest texture.
We hope you LOVE these hamburger buns! They’re:
