2. Interactive Ingredients Checklist & Keto / High-Protein Swaps
When it comes to ingredients, I always say that quality matters.
For this recipe, I recommend using high-protein bread flour, which provides a boost of protein and helps to create a tender crumb.
Don’t be afraid to get creative with your ingredients – you can substitute the granulated sugar with a keto-friendly sweetener or add some chopped nuts for extra texture.
