KETO LOW-CARB CHEDDAR BACON BISCUITS

KETO CHEDDAR BACON BISCUITS

 

This Keto Cheddar Bacon Biscuits recipe is so simple you’ll want to make these babies regularly!

I’ve continued to love bread and everything like bread – pies, biscuits, buns, etc.

This dough recipe is high in protein and possesses almost zero carbs.  I say “almost” zero, as 1 teaspoon of raw honey used to proof the yeast has 6 grams of carbs.  Even if you count the carbs, this is less than .05 grams of carbs per biscuit.  And I have read that the yeast eats the sugar, so you don’t need to count the honey at all in your net carbs.

I add the proofed yeast mostly for flavour and moisture. The dough won’t rise a lot (if at all), but the yeast gives you more of that ‘bread’ craving satisfaction.  You can always leave out the yeast if desired.

With this basic dough recipe, you can prepare a wide variety of bread, biscuit, and bun combinations, such as:

Garlic and rosemary

Italian seasoning

Herbs de Provence

Cheese and garlic

If making this recipe, the bacon and cheese, you don’t need to add salt to the dough.  The bacon and cheese are both salty.

WHAT IS THE NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF KETO CHEDDAR BACON BISCUITS?

The psyllium husks in the Keto Cheddar Bacon Biscuits not only help to bind the dough, but also contribute super health values.  Psyllium is a form of fiber made from the husks of the Plantago ovata plant’s seeds.

Psyllium is a soluble fiber that contributes immensely to your gut health.  As a fiber, it makes bowl movements soft and healthy.  It’s also prebiotic. Prebiotic is a substance needed to help probiotic colonies grow in your gut.  Adding psyllium to your diet also helps to lower bad cholesterol, lower the risk of heart disease, and lower blood pressure.  Besides being good for your heart and blood sugar levels, psyllium may help you lose weight.  Because psyllium absorbs liquid in your stomach, it can help give you that feeling of being full.  This can help you control the amount of food you eat.

WHAT IS THE TASTE PROFILE OF KETO CHEDDAR BACON BISCUITS?

KETO LOW-CARB CHEDDAR BACON BISCUITS

The predominant taste sensations of these biscuits are fattiness and saltiness from the bacon and cheese.  The biscuits are fluffy and flaky, dense, and satisfying. 

WHAT NON-ALC WINE HARMONIZES WITH KETO CHEDDAR BACON BISCUITS?

With the predominant taste sensations of  Keto Low-Carb Cheddar Bacon Biscuits being fattiness and saltiness in the biscuits, choose a full-bodied non alcoholic wine to match.  This full-body character will complement the fattiness in the cheese and bacon.  The non-alc wine’s acidity will nicely offset the saltiness of cheese and bacon.  Think Chardonnay.  Cheddar also works nicely with a non alcoholic red wine.  Keep the NA wine light-bodied to not over power the delicate nature of biscuits in general.  De-alcoholized Pinot Noir has the acidity to offset the saltiness of cheese and bacon.  It also won’t over power biscuits.

Zero Alcohol Wine Tips:

ALCOHOL AND KETOSIS:

To support your Keto diet or low-carb lifestyle, opt for quality, non-alcoholic wines that are low-carb and low in sugar. Additionally, alcohol does not align with a keto diet or low-carb lifestyle. Moreover, your liver processes alcohol before nutrients, pausing ketone creation and slowing the ketosis process. Furthermore, your body will metabolize alcohol as fuel before utilizing food, which can decelerate fat burning and may lead to the storage of carbs, fat, and protein as excess body fat. Moreover, alcohol consumption stimulates the appetite, potentially causing overeating.

ALCOHOL AND HEALTH:

Did you know that when you consume alcohol, your liver has to work extra hard to break it down? This can result in damage to your liver. Furthermore, it can elevate your risk of health issues such as inflammation and cancer, particularly with heavy consumption. Additionally, alcohol can disrupt your blood sugar levels, leaving you feeling dehydrated and disrupting your body’s normal functions.

NON-ALCOHOLIC WINE AND HEALTH BENEFITS:

Non-alcoholic wines with minimal carbs and sugar are advantageous for your health. They not only aid in weight management, blood sugar control, and hydration but also contain essential nutrients and antioxidants from grapes that can decrease your risk of health conditions like heart disease. Consequently, since they lack alcohol, they’re ideal for socializing without any adverse effects, promoting feelings of happiness and reduced stress.
