I tried another keto recipe yesterday and was surprised by the results. It was for a burger bun that turned out remarkably…like bread! Although the color was a bit off of a standard bun. The outside looks like whole wheat…the inside ‘gray-ish’. From my research that is a result of the psyllium husk. It was soft with great texture and could easily hold up to a substantial burger.

For my patties I used 80/20 beef, jalapeno patty mix mixed with beer, high temp cheddar and a little carrot fiber binder to hold the added beer. I topped the burger with homemade buckboard bacon, home smoked Tillamook cheddar, shredded pork rib meat and french fried jalapenos. I buttered and grilled the bun and dressed with house made green tomato sweet relish and horseradish aioli. The results were spectacular! I’ve been waiting a long time for a burger and wasn’t the least bit disappointed.

I’m pretty good at making bread and despite not eating it anymore I still maintain a sourdough starter and make bread for family. This was far easier than the real thing and no kneading required. It only takes a few minutes to put together.
