- 5 tbsp 5 tbsp (40 g) ground psyllium husk powder
- 2 tsp 2 tsp (10 g) baking powder
- 1 tsp 1 tsp sea salt

- Bring the water to a boil and add it, the vinegar and egg whites to the bowl, while beating with a hand mixer for about 30 seconds. Don't over mix the dough, the consistency should resemble Play-Doh.
- Moisten hands and make 6 pieces of the dough. Place on a greased baking sheet.
- Bake on lower rack in the oven for 50–60 minutes, depending on the size of your bread. They're done when you hear a hollow sound when tapping the bottom of the bun.

Can I substitute ingredients?
In all baking, and especially in low-carb baking, the ingredients and amounts used are important. The eggs and ground psyllium husk are hard to replace in this recipe.
If you don't like almond flour or if you have an allergy, you can make this recipe with coconut flour instead. Substitute the amount of almond flour for a third as much of coconut flour and double the number of egg whites.
For a different look and some crunch, sprinkle seeds on the buns before you pop them into the oven – poppy seeds, sesame seeds or why not some salt flakes and herbs?
Flavor your bread with your favorite seasoning to make them perfect for what ever you're serving them with. You can use garlic powder, crushed caraway seeds or your homemade bread seasoning.
Troubleshooting
Do your buns end up with a slightly purple color? That can happen with some brands of psyllium husk. Try with another brand, like this one. For more information, check out our low-carb baking guide.

of brazilian keto bread but the taste of eggs would never go away but this bread here is just much better. Thank you!
1:I used hand whisk tool not the mixer. So for second time my stand mixer was running low while I poured in the boiling water, then 30 sec mixing on setting 6.
2: my oven was already pre heated but most likely not long enough. Be sure it is on the right temperature.
3: first I placed the tray on the middle not on the lower rack, and I had it on for general baking.
For second time I placed the tray on the lower rack, and I used the baking setting ( to help to rise the dough)
I hope it helps! I gave a convection oven, I'm not sure what the trouble if you have traditional oven tho.
