Keto Jalapeno Cheddar Buns
I love a spicy hamburger bun with chili and cheddar flavors. It pairs so well with a nice, thick, juicy hamburger. That is why I developed this recipe for Keto Jalapeno Cheddar Buns. High fiber dough envelopes shredded cheddar cheese and diced jalapenos. An egg wash is brushed on top prior to baking to give a nice shine and a way to adhere a delicious amount of salt. These buns are sturdy and perfect for slicing in half. The buns are also the perfect size for someone that is the only Keto person in their household because the buns can be sliced into rounds and spread with butter.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat an oven to 350 F. Combine all the dry ingredients into the bowl of a stand mixer. This includes almond flour, psyllium husk, kosher salt, and baking powder. Mix with a paddle attachment for a few seconds. Add in ¾ cup cheddar cheese and diced, deseeded jalapenos, and blend briefly.
Step 2
Add the apple cider vinegar to the boiling water. Add the boiling water mixture to the dough and the cheese will melt. Mix until combined for about 1 minute.
Step 3
Next, add the eggs and blend well for another minute or so.
Step 4
Add in the remaining cheese and mix in briefly to fold in.
Step 5
Divide the dough into four pieces and roll them into a nice ball. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet separated as far as possible from each other.
Step 6
Combine the yolk with the milk and ⅛ tsp kosher salt. Brush the tops of the buns with the yolk mixture and sprinkle them with a generous amount of salt.
Step 7
Bake for 50-55 minutes. They should be nice, dark brown, puffed, and do not sink as they exit the oven. They should also sound hollow when tapped. Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet. Freeze any unused buns.
