Notes


Damp hands make handling this dough much easier. 

Method


Oven preparation: Preheat your oven to 200°C (fan 180°C) or 400°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Cheese melting: Combine the mozzarella and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth. Let cool slightly.

Dough formation: In a food processor, combine the melted cheese, almond flour, baking powder, and 2 eggs. Blend until a thick, sticky dough forms.

Shaping: Lightly dust a surface with almond flour. Transfer the dough and knead briefly with damp hands until smooth. Divide into 6 equal portions, roll into balls, and flatten slightly into bun shapes on the tray.

Finishing touches: Beat the remaining egg and brush over the buns. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.

Baking: Bake for 14-17 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.

Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Freezing: Slice and freeze in a zip-lock bag for up to 6 months.

Reheating: Microwave for 30 seconds or warm in a non-stick pan.
