Let’s dive into the step-by-step process to create these irresistible cheese buns from scratch.

🧀 Ingredients You’ll Need

These simple ingredients come together to form cheesy perfection:

• 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 oz cream cheese
• 1 cup almond flour (or finely ground almond meal)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 large egg
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for flavor)
• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)

🥣 Step 1: Prepare the Cheese Base (Fathead Dough)

The foundation of these low-carb buns is a version of the famous “fathead dough,” known for its elasticity and bread-like texture.

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, add the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese.
2. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir.
3. Return to the microwave for another 30–45 seconds until the cheeses are fully melted and blend easily.
4. Stir the mixture with a spoon or spatula until smooth, forming a stretchy dough base.

💡 Tip: If the mixture becomes too stiff, reheat it for 10 seconds to soften before mixing again.

🌾 Step 2: Add the Dry Ingredients

Now, it’s time to give structure to your cheesy base.

1. Add the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder to the melted cheese mixture.
2. Stir thoroughly until combined.
3. Crack in the egg and continue mixing until a uniform dough forms.

You can use your hands to knead the dough for about 1–2 minutes — this helps everything come together smoothly. If the dough sticks to your fingers, lightly oil your hands with olive oil or cooking spray.
