Gluten Free Hamburger Buns

This was my first time using coconut flour. It makes a nice hearty bun that can hold up to what ever you use to fill it. Tonight I filled mine with a Cooked Chicken Breast and Sharp Cheddar Cheese and it was delightful! The bun held up nicely and only started to crumble a little towards the last couple of bites.

INGREDIENTS
1 1/4 cup coconut flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. Kosher salt
6 eggs
1/2 cup olive oil
1 Tbsp. water

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Add coconut flour, baking powder, and kosher salt to a medium mixing bowl. Mix until combined.
2. Add the eggs, olive oil, and water to the dry ingredients.
3. Mix well and let sit for about 10 minutes, allowing the dry ingredients to soak up the wet ingredients.
4. Divide dough into 5-6 equal parts (5 for larger buns and 6 for smaller buns). Dough is very wet, but not sticky.
5. Quickly form bun shapes from the dough and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This is where you can add your toppings (optional). For these I used Trader Joe’s “Everything but the Bagel” seasoning.
6. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes at 325 degrees.
7. Using a knife, slice the buns in half horizontally.

Yields: 5-6 buns
