Ingredients
Instructions
1. 1. Preheat Your Oven and Prepare Your Baking Sheet: Start by preheating your oven to 350 F (175 C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
2. 2. Combine Dry Ingredients Thoroughly: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the blanched almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and sea salt. Make sure there are no lumps and the ingredients are fully incorporated. This ensures the leavening agent is evenly distributed for a good rise.
3. 3. Whisk Wet Ingredients Separately: In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until they are light and frothy. Then, add the almond milk, olive oil (or melted coconut oil), and apple cider vinegar, mixing until well combined. The apple cider vinegar reacts with the baking powder to give the rolls a nice lift.
4. 4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spoon or spatula until just combined. The dough will be thick and sticky, resembling a very thick batter. Avoid overmixing, as this can lead to tougher rolls.
5. 5. Form the Rolls: Using a large spoon or an ice cream scoop, divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions on your prepared baking sheet. Gently shape each portion into a round or oval roll shape. If the dough is too sticky, slightly dampen your hands with water or oil to help with shaping.
6. 6. Add Optional Topping: If desired, sprinkle the tops of the rolls with sesame seeds for a classic burger bun look and a hint of extra flavor.
7. 7. Bake Until Golden Brown: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown on top and feel firm to the touch when gently pressed. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
8. 8. Cool Before Serving: Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Cooling is crucial as it allows the rolls to set and prevents them from becoming gummy or falling apart when sliced.
