Pillowy soft on the inside, delicious all the way through. Mmm....buns.....
Ninja edit: these are meant to be burger/sandwich buns, but if you want dinner rolls, feel free to cut them into 8 or 10 pieces instead. Also, if you prefer seeded buns, brush the tops with an egg wash right before baking and then sprinkle the seeds on top.
Ingredients:
14 g whey protein isolate (source)
57g carbalose (source) Also, this is the lowest carb version available. Do NOT use carbquick))
118g resistant wheat starch (source)
42g vital wheat gluten (source)
.5 tsp xanthan gum (source)
.75tsp salt
2 eggs, at room temperature
2 tbsp butter, cut into small pieces, at room temperature
3 tbsp sour cream, at room temperature
.5c warm water
.5 tsp syrup (corn syrup, maple syrup, or honey will do)
2tsp instant yeast
Note: if you are new to keto breads, a high carb syrup is used to feed the yeast. Don’t panic! It gets eaten by the yeast and turned into tasty yeast farts. None of it remains.
The method:
Mix together the dry ingredients in a bowl, except the yeast.
In the bowl of a stand mixer (or other bowl), combine the water, syrup, and yeast. Use the paddle attachment, but keep the dough hook around, you’ll need it later. Turn on the mixer for a few seconds to dissolve the syrup, but don’t worry if there’s clumps in the yeast. Add in the eggs and sour cream, and turn on the mixer again to combine. Don’t worry again about clumps of yeast, clumps gonna clump.
Sift the dry ingredients into the bowl, then turn on the mixer again, medium speed. After about a minute things should be coming together. At this point, start adding in the butter, a piece at a time, letting each piece get mostly incorporated before adding the next (10-30 seconds between each addition). This goes much quicker when the butter is soft, so it’s important to not skip that step.
Let the mixer run for about a minute after the last bit of buttery goodness, then scrape down the sides. Switch to the hook, and run the mixer for about 6 minutes. The dough should be soft and not particularly sticky (it may stick to your hands, but will come free with little effort). If it’s too sticky, try kneading it with the hook for a bit longer before you try adding more flour.
Once the kneading has been done, place the dough into an oiled bowl, turning it to coat, cover the bowl, and let it rise until it’s nearly double. It happens quickly – for me it’s usually about 20-30 minutes. Dump the dough out on a work surface and divide into 6 portions. Shape those portions into flattish balls, tucking and pinching the dough on the bottom if needed.
Place the dough balls on a baking sheet covered with a silicone mat or parchment, setting them about ½” apart. Let them rise again until nearly double, again about 20-ish minutes for me (YMMV). Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 375, and when they’re ready bake them for 20-25 minutes. Let them cool before cutting them open. Then do cut them open and stuff them with deliciousness!

Recipe :
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
3/4 cup Isopure Zero Carb Whey Protein Isolate
2 Tbsp Flax/Chai Seed Ground Mix
A non-measured amount of (to taste) :
Chicken Bouillon, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder
Preheat oven to 325F
​
I melted the mozzarella in the microwave, mixed in all other ingredients with a spatula. I put 'dough' in-between 2 pieces of parchment paper (see, I learned my lesson from the pizza dough). I rolled it out as thin as I could with a wine bottle (because I could not find my rolling pin...... don't judge me). I cut dough into triangle shapes and placed cut outs on a parchment lined sheet tray. I put them in the oven for about 8-10 mins, turning half way.
I ended up making 2 batches. The first was too thick, and tasted very powdery for my liking.. so my mom took those. The thinner the better they are. I ate them with some guacamole from Whole Foods. They were pretty good, but I can't wait to find my rolling pin to try to get them a bit thinner.
With the ingredients I used, the only real carbs are from the mozzarella cheese.Everything else was <1 carb.
The recipe I was going off of is from Sugar Free Londoner (I changed the recipe to use the things I had in my kitchen rather than buying something new. We all know keto can be expensive at time.)

Edit : Words.
Edit 2 : This is the Protein Powder I used, and I purchased it through amazon.
This is the Fried Chicken Recipe I originally purchased it for.; I used it to make chicken cutlets for chicken parm, which was absolutely delicious and my non-keto SO did not know the difference.
this one actually but I'm sure any 100% whey protein isolate should work. I really, really like how fine this one is though. Same dry, fine texture as flour (and 0g carbs)
Get isopure protein powder. Protein with no added flavors or additives. Or not necessarily that exact product, but something similar that is an unflavored whey of some sort.
Then get a scoop of sugar-free PB2 powder, which has a monkfruit sweetener. Mix them together vigerously. Bam.
If you get unsweetened whey and sugar-free PB2, you can add your own stevia/monkfruit to taste if you want it to be sweeter.
Not OP, but I've always used the Isopure Zero Carb protein powders. They come in a lot of different flavors.

Not really; they all seem to soak it up. Coconut flour really does.
I will tell you what makes a delicious breading. Unflavored whey protein, like this stuff: https://smile.amazon.com/Isopure-Protein-Friendly-Unflavored-Packaging/dp/B00SCO8AA8
I've used it to make chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks, and fried jalapenos and pickles. All delicious. Just do the egg dip first and use it like you would flour.
If she's doing keto, try using a zero-carb unflavored protein powder mixed with some finely crushed pork rinds or some grated parmesan cheese. Nothing will be quite the same as the original cornstarch, but this will get you close.
That's a problem. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I ended up getting this powder https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00SCO8AA8/ and a $5 blender bottle. Hope this one is ok.

This is what I ordered. Got the 1 pound to try it. I know people say it is flavorless but I completely disagree. It tastes like peroxide to me. I definitely have to mix it with other stuff. :)
I also had cellulite ALL. OVER. my upper thighs and bum, and it took about 3-4 months of lifting (4 leg/booty days per week) before my cellulite became no longer visible. You got this!
&#x200B;
Also might I recommend this protein powder? It legit has 0 taste so I add it to anything, including spaghetti, soups, macaroni & cheese, oatmeal, etc. basically anything with a little liquid can be mixed with it without it tasting bad lol. Got tired of the flavored stuff because what you can add it to was so limited (basically all smoothies).
The only thing I can see that does not seem right is your breakfast.
You want to get 30g of protein in within 30 mins of waking up if possible.
3 eggs are ~18g.
I cannot do this using just food so I use a carb and sugar-free protein mixed with water.

I should really work in more cheese especially as snacks. Thanks! I have no idea what protein powders are better than others. I've heard of that optimum gold standard stuff though. We use this Isopure one:

I still am not clear on the fat content of greek yogurt. I've been trying to find the ones with the least amount of sugar though. I don't mind a yogurt that isn't too sweet. I've gotten this "triple zero" one by dannon.
I use Isopure Zero Carb. I've also seen people recommend Hoosier Hill Farm, but I haven't personally tried it. I think it's often cheaper, but it doesn't look like that's the case right now. I would order the Isopure again.
Sorry for the crappy pic but I wasn't planning on posting this or taking a picture but they were so good I decided to share. The nug on the left is the protein isolate, the one on the right was just plain coconut flour since I was experimenting.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Cut up chicken tenders into 3 "nugget size" pieces.
Beat the egg with a tablespoon of heavy cream.
Mix the whey protein with the salt and pepper (add additional spices if you'd like, I also threw in a little garlic and onion powder but didn't measure)
Dip the nugs in the egg, then in the protein, then into the oil. Cook until one side is brown then flip them. After the second side browns and the internal temp reaches 165F (might flip a few times to keep them from browning too much on one side) remove from the oil and place on a cooling rack.
This is what I use.

If you want to cut all the crap out, you're looking for an isolate powder. This won't be flavored nor will it be something you want to ingest on its own in any way. Add it to smoothies or drinks. Someone I know adds it to his morning coffee. The upside is the macros on it are excellent compared to flavored powders and if your body doesn't do well with sugar free options, this is the way to go.
I hate the flavored protein powders for the most part, so I use this. I can put it in pretty much anything. BOOM! Extra protein :D

I sub part of the almond flour with Oat fiber (not oat flour) and/or isopure powder https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SCO8AA8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1. The oat fiber and isopure have a fluffier consistancy. BUT, oat fiber dilutes flavor in my opinion.
Hey, I just wanted to comment with internet hugs and say I know what you're going through. I lost 10 lbs last year from "stress-starving" as I called it. Still working on getting it back.
I know it's hard to motivate yourself to do anything, but walking helps me. Just throw on sweats and go walk somewhere. Nowhere. Whatever. You'll work up an appetite pretty quickly.
Everyone else said protein shakes. They're the only reason I ever get a breakfast in me so I wholeheartedly agree. Your grocery store probably has pre-made shakes, but honestly homemade is so much better.
My go to recipe is: unsweetened almond milk, spinach (can't taste it), almond butter, frozen banana, a small handful of dark chocolate chips, and unflavored protein powder (I get this stuff). It looks disgusting but it's really easy on the tummy. It's only about 400 calories so it's not a meal replacement entirely, but it's a very good start, and it tastes like a banana split.
Also, this is gonna sound really stupid, but don't try to diet or anything at first. I had to learn that the hard way...
Good luck, friend!
I just ordered this. It looks like they also have flavors that are limited to 5 ingredients. Sweeteners are monk fruit and stevia.

I use Isopure Unflavored Whey in my oatmeal; when I'm soaking it overnight and then heating it up in the morning, I just add it to the rest of the dry ingredients (~1/2 scoop with 1/3c. oats plus other nuts/seeds and 2/3c. almond milk). When I'm making hot oatmeal, I mix it with a little almond milk then stir it in at the end.
For shakes, I drink EAS Chocolate Whey, which I think is super good! I've also had lots of terrible protein shake experiences and for whatever reason I really like this one. I'll usually do a scoop in 8oz. almond milk; my husband likes using dairy milk, which is also good.
