INGREDIENTS

• gluten-free oat flour - This flour is perfect for buns or bread. It is slightly sweet and it has the best consistency.
• buckwheat flour - Buckwheat flour is one of my favorites. It is stretchy and it is perfect for gluten-free baking.
• rice flour - Rice flour creates such a nice and delicate consistency. It has a neutral taste so it is wonderful in this recipe.
• baking powder - Baking powder is a must if you want nice and fluffy buns.
• baking soda - The same thing applies to baking soda, but the combination of both is the best.
• psyllium husk - This is our secret ingredient in making these buns so fluffy and almost like sourdough.
• salt - A pinch of salt in this recipe is much needed.
• flax meal - Flax meal gave these buns such a beautiful color. But a flax meal acts as an egg replacer. It is a wonderful ingredient when it comes to gluten-free baking.
• water - This is a key ingredient. Water will combine everything together.

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: In a large bowl combine dry ingredients, which are: oat flour, buckwheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, psyllium husk, salt, and flax meal.

Combine and add water.

Step 2: Create a smooth dough. The consistency will be very runny, but you need to sit the dough for about 30 minutes. It will thicken up because of the psyllium husk.

Step 3: After 30 minutes the dough should be thick enough to form buns in your hands. The dough will be sticky, so use water to shape the buns.

Bake them for about 30-40 minutes at 400F (200°C)
