Low carb, keto friendly flaxseed buns and lagana (Greek flat bread), wheat flour free, gluten free, dairy free and also diabetic friendly!
Low carb / keto
If you search for low carb buns on the internet you will find many recipes.
I tried a lot of them and experimented with my low carb ingredients until I have the right result.
I am not satisfied with anything less than a decent version that is reminiscent of exactly what it describes
..and that's "bread" of course!
These buns have the texture and flavour of a regular bread and do not contain any dairy.
You can also use this recipe to make flat bread (Greek lagana). This is a better way to toast and have crispy bread.
