Keto Hot Dog Buns are a flavorful dish that gives a regular taste without high-carb bread. To make these buns light and soft, we use a keto-friendly (high-fat, low-carb) diet that has the best texture to hold sausages or bratwursts while maintaining low carbs. This recipe is simple and easy for weekdays, lunch boxes, and family gatherings. We can store these buns separately for 50-60 days to freeze up. You can grill, toast, butter, or serve fresh Keto Hot Dog Buns out of the oven. Serve with your preferred low-carb garnishes, like mustard or low-fat sauces.

INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:
EGGS:
- We use eggs in the dish for a better taste and to combine all the components.
COCONUT FLOUR:
- Adding coconut flour helps to handle the almond flour and to take in the moisture. Lightly add the almond flour in a higher quantity if the coconut flour is removed.
MOZZARELLA CHEESE:
- It helps to provide flexibility and make the batter base high-fat, low-carb. While the texture may differ, non-dairy mozzarella can be utilized.
SALT:
- Use of salt for a better flavor of the dish without changing the amount of carbs.
ALMOND FLOUR:
- Including almond flour maintains carb content low and delivers a structure just as normal dough. If you completely swap coconut flour, the outcome will be different.
BAKING POWDER:
- It helps to create buns that are less thick and softer.
CREAM CHEESE:
- Provides smoothness and helps to combine the dough. Utilize mascarpone to add a light, soft, rich flavor.
