🌟 Soft Gluten-Free Burger Buns

Yields: 6 buns
Prep Time: 15 minutes (plus rising)
Bake Time: 20–25 minutes

🧾 Ingredients:

• 2 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)

• 1 tbsp psyllium husk powder (for structure & softness)

• 1 tbsp sugar

• 1 ½ tsp instant yeast

• 1 tsp salt

• 1 cup warm milk (or dairy-free alternative)

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 2 large eggs (room temp)

• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar

• Sesame seeds (optional)

🥣 Instructions:

1. Activate yeast (optional but helpful):
   In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

2. Mix dry ingredients:
   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, psyllium husk, and salt.

3. Combine wet & dry:
   Add the yeast mixture, eggs, olive oil, and vinegar into the dry ingredients. Mix until a thick, sticky dough forms. A stand mixer with paddle attachment works best.

4. Shape buns:
   With oiled hands or a scoop, divide dough into 6 equal portions and form round buns. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gently flatten tops for burger shape.

5. Let rise:
   Cover loosely with a damp towel or plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place for 30–45 minutes until puffed.

6. Preheat oven:
   To 375°F (190°C). Brush buns with egg wash (1 beaten egg with a splash of water) and sprinkle sesame seeds if desired.

7. Bake:
   Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and set. Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

✅ Tips:

• For extra softness, place a small pan of water in the oven during baking for steam.

• Store in an airtight container at room temp for 1–2 days or freeze for longer shelf life.
