Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
  • 1 3/4 cups Blanched almond flour
  • 1 Large egg
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Fine sea salt
Optional Topping
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds

Method
 

Step-by-Step
  1. Heat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in roughly 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the cheese is melted and smooth.
  3. Add the almond flour, baking powder, fine sea salt, and egg to the warm melted cheese. Stir until the mixture comes together into a dough.
  4. Knead the dough by hand, or process it briefly in a food processor, until all ingredients are evenly combined.
  5. Divide the dough into six equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then gently flatten it into a rounded bun shape.
  6. Arrange the buns on the parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle the tops with sesame seeds if desired.
  7. Bake for approximately 15–20 minutes, or until the buns are puffed and lightly golden. Cool briefly before slicing and serving.

Notes

Work with the dough while the cheese is still warm. If it becomes stiff, warm it briefly; if it is sticky, chill it for 5–10 minutes or lightly wet your hands before shaping. Avoid adding large amounts of extra almond flour because it can make the buns dense.
