Paleo “Pup” DogsPlaying around with @paleoglutenfreeats’s awesome 5 minute fluffy flourless paleo hamburger buns…this time wrapping dough around grilled vegan sausages! Choose any vegan sausage, grill it up, then roll it out to be big enough to wrap sausage. Wrap and bake as directed in original recipe. Using cassava flour (like from @anthonysgoods), makes these buns gluten free and paleo friendly. Recipe is definitely hubby and kid approved! Enjoy! And, thanks again @paleoglutenfreeats!Original recipe found here: https://paleoglutenfree.com/recipes/5-minute-fluffy-flourless-paleo-hamburger-buns/ …for more recipes…

After chilling in the refrigerator, I then put yogurt it in my greek yogurt strainer, but you could use cheesecloth to…
