Making low carb simple
Instructions
Keto buns
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Start by making the hamburger buns. Mix together the dry ingredients in a bowl.
- Bring water to a boil. Add the water, the vinegar and the egg whites to the bowl while beating with a hand mixer for about 30 seconds. Don't overmix the dough; the consistency should resemble Play-Doh.
- With moist hands, form the dough into individual pieces of bread, one for each serving. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Be sure to leave enough room on the baking sheet for the buns to double in size.
- Bake on lower rack in oven for 50-60 minutes. They're done when you hear a hollow sound when tapping the bottom of the buns.
Hamburger
- Fry the bacon slices over medium heat.
- Form the ground beef into individual hamburgers and either grill or fry. Season with salt and pepper when the hamburgers are almost done.
- Split each roll in half and spread a generous amount of mayonnaise on each half.
- Build your hamburger to your taste.
- Pair with a side of coleslaw for added crunch!
Tips
What do you do with the three egg yolks left from the bread? Béarnaise sauce, of course! Check out our recipes for béarnaise sauce and chili-flavored béarnaise sauce.
If you need to store the bread you can do so in the freezer. Thaw at room temperature or in a warm oven.
Inspiration
The bread recipe is adapted from an earlier bread recipe by Maria Emmerich.

Another thing to consider is altitude. At higher altitudes, recipes need more liquid (approx 3 tablespoons more for each cup of dough). If the recipe was created at higher altitude, those at lower altitude (like people who live close to sea level) will require less liquid. Breads and cakes are finnacky...little details like these can throw you off.
You're right. A beer wouldn't be the best drink when on a low-carb diet. The beverage in the background is iced tea. The recipe for it will be up soon so keep your eyes open!
I'm sorry it didn't turn out good for you. The reply you got from Apicus is great and I would try making those alterations and see how they work for you. It is also important that you use psyllium husk powder and not whole husks and that you don't over mix the dough.
Good luck!
Can you use normal vinegar for this? Or does it need to apple cider/red wine? Thank you in advance for your help
Baked them for one hour @ 170C in the evening. Just had one of the buns with my lunch. The inside was moist/soft but not soggy (might slightly increase almond flour or cut back on psylium, we'll see). They rose very nicely and were very light. Overall they turned out good!
Which means: tonight is going to be cheeseburger night!
I might slightly dial down the amount of salt (3/4 tsp?). It was in the upper limit for my taste and I tend to naturally go on the heavy side with salt.
Join the Keto for beginners group on Facebook. There’s a lot of information for beginners to get started and a lot of valuable information. People often post recipes and you’re more than welcome to ask any questions since people are very willing to help out. Great support group for starting in Keto! Key to Keto is carbs less than 20g, high fat, moderate protein, no grains (rice, flour, etc), no beans, no starches (corn and potatoes) and no sugar.
What I do not understand is giving a ketogenic recipe with vague amounts,
like 1/2 tomato or 1/4 red onion.
Some tomatoes and red onions can weigh a few ounces to several ounces.
Tomatoes and red onions are high in carbohydrates, why guess at the amount?
Did you use any measurement to get the totals for this hamburger bun and recipe?
I am new to this diet, and I need help gauging the proper amount vegetables with weights.
Yes! :)
Thank you so very much

My tip - I whisk the eggs, then add the rest that I've blitzed in the Thermomix (but a blender will do) - the raw almonds first, then add psyllium husk, salt flakes, baking powder, and the optional hemp flour - then add the apple cider vinegar and finally pour in the boiling water while it's beating.
I leave it for a bit to form, then scoop out 1/2 cups and scrape them onto a silicon fibre baking sheet (these are amazing) and form into rough bun shapes with the spatula. Slide the sheet onto a tray and bake at 200C for about 50m
Add the liquid ingredients to the dry mix in the order listed. Boiling water, then vinegar and then egg whites.
