Fat-free Burger Buns
Ingredients
Dough
- 320 gms Unbleached all purpose flour
- 100 gms White whole wheat flour
- 230 gms Lukewarm water
- 46 gms Egg white liquid
- 30 gms Fat free cottage cheese
- 25 gms Sugar
- 25 gms Monkfruit sweetener see notes
- 1 tbsp Instant yeast
- 1¼ tsp Salt
Topping
- 1 Egg white
- ¼ cup Water
- 1 tbsp Poppy seeds/ sesame seeds optional
Instructions
- Mix and knead all of the dough ingredients — by hand, mixer, or bread machine — to make a soft, smooth dough.
- Cover the dough, and let it rise for 1 to 2 hours, or until it's nearly doubled in bulk.
- Gently deflate the dough, and divide it into 8 pieces. Shape each piece into a round ball; flatten to about 3" across. Place the buns on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, cover, and let rise for about an hour, until noticeably puffy.
- Beat the egg white and water together and gently brush the buns with the egg wash. Top with any seeds if using.
- Bake the buns in a preheated 375°F oven for 15 to 18 minutes, until golden. Remove them from the oven and cool on a rack.
Notes
You can skip the Monkfruit sweetener and instead add 50 grams of sugar, if that’s all you have. I use Monkfruit sweetener to simply lower the calories in the buns a little.
