Equipment

  • Stand Mixer
  • Mixing Bowl
  • 9x9" baking dish I prefer glass

Ingredients
  

  • 15 g (3 tbsp) whole psyllium husk or 13g psyllium husk powder.
  • 280 g (1 ¼ cup) pineapple juice, warm
  • 160 g (1⅓ cups + 1 tbsp) corn starch, potato starch, or arrowroot powder.
  • 135 g (1 cup) brown rice or millet flour
  • 25 g (3 tbsp) sorghum flour
  • 25 g maple syrup or 50 g (¼ cup) sugar
  • 6 g (2 tsp) instant yeast
  • 6 g (1½ tsp) baking powder
  • 5 g (2 tsp) xanthan gum
  • 5 g (1 tsp) salt
  • 1 egg room temperature + an extra egg for egg wash

Instructions
 

  • Whisk psyllium husk into the warm pineapple juice and let sit for a few minutes for a gel to form.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the other dry ingredients – starch of choice, brown rice or millet flour, sorghum flour, yeast, sugar (if using), baking powder and salt.
  • Into the psyllium husk gel, whisk the starter, eggs, maple syrup (if using) and oil.
  • Pour the gel mixture into the dry ingredients and mix with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for approximately 5 minutes until a very smooth dough has formed.
  • Using a spatula, scrape down the edges of the bowl and form dough into a ball/pile in the bowl.
  • Turn dough out of the bowl onto a well floured surface. Generously flour your hands and the dough so you can gently form it into a ball.
  • Divide dough into 16 even parts.
  • Gently form each dough ball and place in a greased 9x9" baking pan.
  • Lightly cover pan with greased plastic wrap or a towel.
  • Let buns rise for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  • Rise time will vary depending on the temperature and humidity of your house. If you have a proof setting on your oven, this is a great option, especially for winter bread.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Just before baking, lightly egg wash each bun.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes or until just starting to turn golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and let cool. Serve slightly warm.
  • Store on the counter for 2-3 days or slice and freeze.
