Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups / 710 ml shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 oz / 56 g cream cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ¾ cups / 196 g almond flour
- 1 tbsp / 15 ml baking powder
Instructions
- Preparation: Arrange a parchment-lined baking tray and heat the oven to 200°C, creating an optimal baking environment.
- Cheese Fusion: Melt mozzarella and cream cheese in a microwave-safe container, stirring intermittently until achieving a silky, homogeneous texture.
- Dough Composition: Combine the molten cheese with almond flour, baking powder, and eggs in a food processor, pulsing gently to form a unified dough with smooth consistency.
- Dough Refinement: On an almond flour-dusted surface, knead the dough with moistened hands, developing a sleek and pliable texture.
- Shaping and Arrangement: Divide the dough into six equal portions, rolling each into uniform rounds and positioning them strategically on the prepared baking tray, then gently flatten to create classic bun profiles.
- Finishing Touches: Brush the bun surfaces with whisked egg, optionally sprinkling sesame seeds for enhanced flavor and visual appeal.
- Baking Process: Slide the tray into the preheated oven, allowing the buns to transform into golden-brown delicacies over 14-17 minutes.
- Resting and Serving: Remove the baked buns and let them rest briefly before slicing and presenting, ensuring optimal texture and temperature.
Notes
- Quick Cheese Melting Tip: Microwave cheese in short bursts, stirring between intervals to prevent burning and ensure smooth, even melting.
- Perfect Dough Handling: Use damp hands when kneading to prevent sticking and achieve a smooth, cohesive texture without adding extra flour.
- Egg Wash Technique: Brush buns gently with beaten egg for a glossy, golden-brown finish that enhances both appearance and flavor.
- Baking Time Watch: Monitor buns closely during the 14-17 minute baking window, as oven temperatures can vary and impact final color and texture.
