Step 1
Grab a large mixing bowl, and whisk together almond flour, ground flax seed, salt, and baking powder. Make sure to break up any lumps with the whisk. Next, make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and crack your eggs into the middle of the bowl. Briefly whisk the eggs to break them up, but leave them in the center of the bowl. Set the bowl aside for the next step.Step 2
Place shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese into a pot on your stove. Melt both types of cheese while stirring them over medium heat until both combine into a singular, creamy white cheese. Adjust the heat as necessary to make sure the cheese doesn’t brown in the pot. When the cheese is melted, remove the pot from the heat, and stir the cheese to release the excess steam. Start stirring the melted cheese in the center of your mixing bowl, then keep mixing and mixing until a sticky dough forms.Step 3
Transfer the dough to a piece of plastic wrap. You can use the plastic in your hands to knead the dough further if needed. Wrap the dough in one or two pieces of plastic and shape the dough into a flat disc so it chills quickly. Place the wrapped dough in your freezer to chill for at least 20 minutes or until firm. It may need to chill for longer, depending on how much dough you have made.Step 4
Once the dough is done chilling in your freezer, turn on an oven to preheat to 350 F (180 C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Unwrap the firm dough and divide it into the number of servings you’re making. Shape each portion first into a ball and then into a hotdog bun. Place each bun on the parchment paper. After shaping the buns, melt the butter in a microwave-safe dish, then, brush the melted butter over the tops and sides of the buns. Sprinkle poppy seeds across the top of each bun (you can omit the seeds if desired).Step 5
Bake the hot dog buns for 35 minutes or until they’re done. The hot dog buns will be golden all over the tops and sides to show doneness. If you own a cooling rack for baking, use it to help cool your buns quickly. Allow the buns to cool entirely before you slice them for serving (approx. 1 hour). Please note the cooling time is included in the overall cooking time.Step 6
Once the buns are cooled, slice almost all the way through them. Cook your hotdog in your desired way before adding it to the bun. Each hot dog gets ¼ teaspoon of ketchup and ½ teaspoon of yellow mustard. Add additional toppings at your discretion.
