Tips and How To Make Them
- Activating the yeast. The water must be warm to activate yeast. Add the inulin or sugar/honey to help activate. Cover the bowl with cling film and/or a silicone mat and leave somewhere warm to activate. You will know when it is ready as the top will be thick and foamy.
- When combining ingredients never add the yeast and salt together. Salt kills yeast. If you follow the list of ingredients in order of the recipe, you will be safe.
- Knead for a minimum of 5 minutes. The dough should be soft but not sticky. If the dough is too wet add a little more flaxmeal to help absorb the moisture.
- The mix makes roughly 700g total mass. Cut into 10 x 70 g pieces and roll. Watch the video within the recipe for a simple rolling technique.
- Cover and place in a warm place to allow the buns to double in size. Leave plenty of room on the baking tray for them to rise.
- Season. I season with a mix of nigella seeds, sesame seeds, celery salt and onion granules.
- Bake and cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Hi, I don’t suppose you have tried this recipe as a pizza base?
I have a long time ago. It is a tight dough generally so you need to use a smaller amount than you think and stretch it thin as it still puffs up big. You will end up with a deep dish style pizza base. You can separate the dough and keep chilled until needed.
Awesome thanks, will give it a go. ๐
I am allergic to almond flour, what would be a good substitute?
Thank you in advance….Golden flaxmeal is a great substitute.
Hi there, my son is allergic to nuts. Would I be able to replace the almond meal with coconut flour?
Hi Catia, just swap the almond meal for golden flaxmeal and it will work perfectly.
