1. Prep for Baking
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Melt the Cheeses
-
In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella and cream cheese.
-
Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir, then heat for another 30 seconds, or until the cheeses are completely melted and smooth when stirred.
3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the melted cheese. Mix quickly until a crumbly dough forms.
4. Shape the Buns
-
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions.
-
Roll each portion into a ball and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Gently press down to flatten slightly into a classic bun shape.
5. Bake to Golden Perfection
-
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the buns are puffed up and have a beautiful golden-brown crust.
-
Let them cool on the baking sheet for at least 5-10 minutes before handling. They will firm up as they cool.
