Keto Hot Dog Bun Recipe
Summer time is all about convenience and stress free cooking!
Grilling outside, pool parties, the beach and BBQ parties are all about easy foods to enjoy and my goal is making them all keto recipes!
And homemade keto burger buns and low carb hot dog buns are just one of the favorites at this time of year.
Nitrate Free Hot Dogs
I can’t tell you I’m a hot dog lover, but I can say every once in a while I’m in the mood for a hot dog.
I prefer to buy hot dogs that are as clean as possible preferably without any nitrates or any added sugar. The brand I often buy is Applegate.
My post today isn’t about what kind of hot dog rocks your world, but it’s more about what you’re putting that hot dog on.
Carbs in Traditional Hot Dog Buns
According to the app Cronometer, one regular 6 inch white flour hot dog bun has 21.6 grams of total carbs!!
That’s too many for anyone following a keto diet as many eat that amount for the entire day! Definitely not something to eat if you’re watching your carb intake and blood sugar.
Our keto hot dog bun recipe has just 1 total grams of carbs per bun. All the nutrition information is at the bottom of this page on the printable recipe card.
Cloud Bread Loaf Recipe
I transformed my Cloud Bread Loaf recipe into hamburger buns and they were a great success. So I thought, why not show you how easy it is to make my loaf into heavenly low carb hot dog rolls.
Use any cardboard that’s oven safe. I had these in my cupboard so that’s what I used.
I cut them up and used them for slits in the center of each hot dog and divided the batter in half for 5 sections on each side of the pan.
You can see from the photos once it comes out of the oven it does deflate some, but no worries they are still delicious!
Simply slice around the cardboard and those are your center slits for each bun.
Slice into 10 rolls and you’re almost done. The magic happens when you brown these in a skillet!
Grease skillet with avocado oil or use some olive oil or coconut oil cooking spray and cook until golden brown each side.
Simple Recipe for Keto Hot Dog Buns
I mean it’s still low carb Cloud bread but hey, it’s pretty good bread-like texture when you feel like a hot dog in a bun! You can also use this same recipe to make into a keto hamburger bun recipe.
It’s a great way to enjoy a low carb hot dog on a bun whenever you want for your next cookout! I kept mine refrigerated and reheated them the next few days we wanted them.
Even the kids loved them!
What do you think? They pass for a pretty good looking low carb hot dog bun don’t you think?

Ingredients
- 6 eggs separated

custom hot dog boxes
Hi there, your recipe for the cloud loaf asks for baking powder, while this recipe for the hot dog buns asks for baking soda, why I that ?
Because it’s the kind of roll they use in a New England lobster roll.
