Almond Flour 90 Second Bun

There are almond flour bun recipes going around social media these days so I had to try to create one of my own. This is a great bun! My version of the recipe is good for either a breakfast bun or a savory bun – it all depends on the seasonings you add to the batter.

2 Hour Artisan Bread

Homemade bread is healthier as it doesn’t have the preservatives that commercial breads do and it saves you money making this bread yourself vs buying an artisan style loaf at the store.

If you are new to bread making, this is a great intro bread to start you off. It’s delicious! And quick! And there is no kneading required, just easy shaping (what this means is in the directions). You’ll be a artisan bread maker in no time!
