Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) almond flour, blanched and finely ground
  • 1 cup (90g) certified gluten-free oat flour
  • ½ cup (60g) tapioca starch
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup (240 ml) warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (raw or pure grade B recommended)
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons (one packet) active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • Flaxseed meal (optional, for extra binding and nutrition)

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water, maple syrup, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit until foamy and bubbly on top (about 10 minutes).
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, oat flour, tapioca starch, sea salt, and baking soda (about 5 minutes).
  3. Combine wet and dry: Pour the yeast mixture into the dry ingredients along with apple cider vinegar and olive oil. Stir with a sturdy spoon or use a stand mixer with dough hook on low speed until dough comes together; it should be slightly sticky but hold shape (about 5 minutes).
  4. First rise: Cover the bowl with a clean towel or plastic wrap and let it rest in a warm spot until dough puffs up slightly (about 45 minutes).
  5. Shape the buns: Lightly oil your hands and divide dough into 6 equal portions (~3.2 oz/90g each). Roll each into a smooth ball and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gently flatten each bun to about 3 inches (7.5 cm) diameter (about 10 minutes).
  6. Second rise: Cover buns loosely and let rise again until slightly puffed (about 20 minutes).
  7. Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake buns on center rack until golden brown and firm to touch, internal temperature about 205°F (96°C) (20-25 minutes).
  8. Cool: Transfer buns to a cooling rack and let cool completely (at least 15 minutes) before slicing to prevent gummy texture.

Notes

If dough feels too sticky, sprinkle oat flour on hands when shaping. Do not rush rising phases; gluten-free dough benefits from patience. Let buns cool completely before slicing to avoid gummy texture. Use kitchen scale for best accuracy. Maintain baking mats by wiping gently after use instead of washing with soap.
