Ingredients for Low Glycemic Index Flour Buns

- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp fine salt
- 1 tsp instant yeast for savory preparations
Useful Tools
- Bowl
- Food Scale
- 1 Spoon
- Parchment Paper
Preparation of Low Glycemic Index Flour Buns
In a bowl, pour the flour, salt, and yeast and quickly mix with the spoon.
Add the water and oil to the bowl and start mixing with the spoon. When you see the water being absorbed, pour the dough onto a lightly floured work surface.
Knead the dough for 5/6 minutes until you have a smooth and compact dough, then divide it into 3 equal parts, shape each part into a round shape, slightly flatten them, and place the buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Preheat the oven to 356°F (180°C) and once it has reached the temperature, bake the buns. Cook for 30/35 minutes, once cooked, remove them from the oven, let them cool, and enjoy them alone or filled!
At the end of cooking, the low glycemic index flour buns should be slightly golden on the surface.
