FAQs

Can I make these buns ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough a day before and refrigerate it after it rises. Just shape, let rise again, and bake.

Can I freeze the uncooked dough?
Yes! Shape the buns and freeze them right after forming. Just let them rise before baking.

What can I use instead of almond flour?
Coconut flour is an excellent option; however, you may need to adjust the liquid due to its absorbent nature.
