Ingredients
Protein Buns
8.82 oz (250 g) oats
12.35 oz (350 g) cottage cheese
4 eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
Stuffing
5.29 oz (150 g) thin sliced chicken for sandwich
1.41 oz (40 g) fresh spinach
2 avocados
2 tomatoes
6 tablespoons green pesto
Directions
Protein Buns
- Preheat oven to 355 F (180 C).
- Pour all ingredients for the buns into a bowl. Then use a hand blender to to blend the ingredients into a dough with smooth consistency. If the dough is too thin, add a few more oats. Let the dough rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Line a baking tray with baking sheet.
- Dip two spoons in water and then use them to place scoops of the dough onto the baking sheet. Then form them to make them slightly long.
- You should get around 6 pieces from this recipe.
- Bake them in the middle of the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden.
- Remove from oven and let them cool off entirely before giving them a clean cut through the center with your KUMA Bread Knife. If you slice them too early, the bread will seem kind of wet, so it’s best to let them cool off a lot.
- Cut tomato and avocado into slices. You can use your KUMA Bread Knife here as the knife is specially designed to be highly versatile and excel in cutting vegetables as well.
Building Your Sandwich
- If you didn’t cut them open yet, do so now.
- Spread with 1 tablespoon pesto per sandwich half on the upper bun and half on the lower bun.
- Top with spinach, chicken slices, tomato slices, and avocado slices. Enjoy!

No flour all over the table, no sticky dough clumps everywhere, and no dough all over your hands.
