This keto cheese bread makes amazing fathead hamburger buns for those following a low carb or grain-free or gluten-free diet. Delicious for sandwiches, BLTs and more!
You can also enjoy this keto bread simply as a dinner roll, as a keto English muffin or even modify the shape to make low carb hot dog buns.
This recipe is fairly easy to make, although I do want to caution that its ease means these aren’t fluffy like regular hamburger buns or regular bread. This keto cheese bread is denser but full of flavor. And it will definitely satisfy your craving for a sandwich.

How to modify this recipe for hot dogs or other bread shapes
This recipe should translate into other bun shapes, but you may have to get a little creative to make it work. Remember, these won’t rise much so you will have to size them based upon the finished size.
For a hot dog bun, you can try to bake them thicker and slice them like a hot dog bun or make them in two pieces and enjoy it more like a skinny sandwich. I think the two pieces will work out better but let me know if you try the hot dog bun shape and slice them. I’d love to know if that turns out.
You could even make a single loaf out of this, but don’t make it too thick, the outside might burn before the inside cooks.
