Low carb, keto friendly buns and flat bread (Greek Lagana), wheat flour free, gluten free, dairy free and also diabetic friendly!
Keto / Low carb
This recipe came out of necessity, during the summer holiday season.
When I travel it's not possible for me to have all the ingredients I need, to make the recipes I want, so I limit myself to the basics.
This recipe has only a few ingredients but the result was better than
expected.
"Lagana bread", (art of greek flat bread) ideally, should be vegan, but as many times I tried to make keto bread without eggs, I didn't like the result.
So for "lagana", I consider this recipe to be the best choice.
It comes out fluffy, lightly sweet and the most important it's easy to make!
Of course you can use any other keto bread recipe you prefer to make "lagana"... it's just a matter of choice.
