Every ‘Low carber’ / ‘ketoer’ is always in search of a good bread recipe. If you find one you keep it because good keto breads are hard to find. As usual this is a recipe variant from my very popular fathead dough bread recipe which I love. Since making that bread, I have made lots of variations from it because I find that it helps me stay on course. It hits the right spot for my bread cravings.

How to make these fat head keto burger buns.

• Start with making your modified fat head dough.

• Divide them and put them in these mini pie baking dishes. Easy right?

• Bake to perfection and enjoy.

This recipe makes 4 standard sized keto burger buns or 6 flatter buns. Depending on your carb allotment you can decide to make them into 4 or 6 buns. For 4 burger buns, net carbs count is 5.2g per bun. For 6 burger buns net carbs count is 3.5g per bun.

Quick Tip

To reduce the net carb count per bun you can make 6 buns instead of 4.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

I got a lot of complains about the carb count of this recipe so I decided to recalculate it to make sure there wasn’t an issue. The corrected Net Carbs per bun is actually 5.2g not 7.5g as previously posted.

I have calculated it over and over and I don’t see how I got up to 12.6 Total carbs and 5.1g fiber giving me 7.5g net carb per bun as previously posted. Recall I mentioned further down the post that this post has been lying in my draft for a long time? it could be that I included the erythritol* when I calculated this recipe the first time. Other than that I see no other reason who I got such a high carb count.

*I usually don’t add sugar alcohols when I calculate my nutritional info since sugar alcohols don’t affect the blood sugar of most people including mine. As always the nutritional info provided here is as a courtesy to you my amazing readers and Low carb/ Keto VIPs. I use a variety of calculators to compare but this is the calculator I often use. Feel free to use it to calculate any recipe bearing in mind that there may be slight differences depending on the product used.

I have also updated the nutritional info below to reflect the correct net carb count. My apologies for any confusion. On the positive side 5.2g net carbs count isn’t bad for a delicious burger bun ?

Tips to get these fat head keto burger buns right

• Getting the dough right is a very important part of the process. Therefore when melting the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese, make sure the cheese melts evenly and completely.

• Fat head dough can be quite sticky, wet hands can mix it better.

• I love to use cold eggs instead of room temperature eggs. I haven’t had any problems with that.

• Grease your baking dish properly
