Keto Flax Bread

Keto Flax Bread – low-carb dinner rolls made with simple ingredients, loaded with fiber. A version for the popular fathead dough, but with the addition of ground flax. Soft, flavorful and easy to make. Perfect as sandwich buns, to serve with salads and soups. Naturally gluten-free.

Being on a low-carb diet, I do miss my bread! Not so much other forms of carbs, but warm, crusty bread with some butter. I grew up eating bread and from time to time I really would love to have some or even bake it myself.

This is why, I’ve made it a priority to test as many different low carb bread recipes and find the perfect one, that I love. Some Keto breads are eggy, others are dry, some are too moist and oily.

I’ve gotten a great feedback for my Keto bread, baked in ramekins and this is by far my favorite low-carb bread recipe, but I wanted to create delicious bread rolls, that are not too soft or too dry and not as tender as my Keto Ramekin Bread, that could be baked in the microwave or in the oven. I’m also preparing a recipe collection of some of my favorite Keto Bread Recipes from around the web. Keep in mind, they are all different. By the way, I also used to be a huge fan of ezekiel flax bread.

Make sure you don’t over bake the bread rolls and that they are all the same size, so they bake together to the same doneness.
