Keto Big Mac Wrap Recipe

When I made these products, never did I think they would end up into baking mixes. Especially not popular keto mixes!

They have become so versatile and easy to use that me, and you, are using them as all sorts of amazing foodie creations!

The latest one, and one that I honestly never would of thought was possible from a gluten free bread mix and a darn amazing keto bread mix alternative, is a gluten free keto wrap! Made so quick and easy, you most likely wouldn’t buy a store wrap again!

This is not a recipe I created, or even had a hand in, it’s come from one of our amazing followers all the way from Australia!


From one packet of Rosemary Garlic & Thyme baking mix you should get about 4/5 wraps, depending on how big you make them

I made two wraps and I made them 17cm-20cm in diameter and spread realy thin, not thin that its see through, but thin that it’s about 1mm-2mm!

Lets get down to the nitty gritty..


STORAGE

Not realy sure, I made them, and then we ate them. But, I would reckon you can store the wraps in a airtight container for 2-3 days, or pop them into the fridge, to be extra safe! You would most likely need to get them back to room temp before rolling them, as I they might crack.


WHAT YOU NEED FROM YOUR PANTRY

1/4 Cup Rosemary Garlic and Thyme Bread Mix

1 teaspoon Oil

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 egg

Handful grated mozzarella cheese

I did not use the baking powder when I made my wrap, but if you prefer to have it ever so more poofy, then go for it!

The grated mozzarella is there to help it stay together, if you don’t, it does tend to crack on the back end when you fold it over! So, please do add it!

METHOD

This is so easy, really, you cannot do anything wrong!

Take all the above ingredients, 1/4 cup gluten free bread mix, teaspoon oil, baking powder, mozzarella and the egg and mix it all together.

Take a piece of baking paper and spread the mixture thinly onto it, in a circle shape

Pop this into the microwave for 90 seconds, my microwave did exactly 90 seconds, please keep an eye on yours, especially the first time you make it!

That’s it! Your very own wrap! Who would of thought that you can make your own, this easy peasy!

If you are following keto, and even if your not! Do try out the keto big mac trend! Gosh, we had a feast in our house!

This recipe and photos is a big thank you to cwketolife on Instagram!

Keto French Toast - Valentines Day Edition

I love all types of special days! Valentines Day is no exception!

We celebrate as a family, we don’t go out for dinner, rarely, as we don’t have a network of babysitters or any family close by and the kiddos are still a bit young to sit still in a fancy restaurant! They prefer to run amok after the novelty of colouring in has worn off! I wish more places would invest in kids play areas! In the country I was born in, EVERY single restaurant has a play area, and they are AMAZING!! Most of them have wonderful ladies looking after the kids in them too!! Honestly, you can sit and have a glass of wine in peace and quite knowing your children are having fun and you don’t have to wash any dishes afterwards!!! WIN WIN

SO, we do Valentines Day at home, pretty much for the entire day!

Lets start with Keto French Toast for breakfast, shall we!

INGREDIENTS

1 x pouch of Flour and Dough Keto Baking Mix - I used Sunflower Date and Walnut here

1 x egg

Coconut oil, butter, oil for frying

That’s it! Oh, and you will need a pan too :)


TIPS AND TRICKS

Because these loaves are not very high, no gluten, no yeast, they don’t rise heaps! So, I halved my loaf tin, I just added some tinfoil to corner it off! I had a smaller loaf, but it made it allot higher!

This is a 10 cm heart cookie cutter. I got 8 heart shaped bread slices from this loaf.

Don’t waste your cut outs! I love to bake my extra pieces, tossed in olive oil, and use them as croutons! What would your idea be? I did see a realy cute idea for using crusts the other day! In quick - they roll them up and add one roll to the bottom of a muffin tin, add garlic butter on top, grill it, then add pizza sauce and cheese and grill it again. I do wonder if this would work, let me know if you try it!

STORAGE

I actualy don’t know how long it would last, as we made them and then ate them!

TOPPINGS
I think Bob’s your Uncle here!

I love french toast with chutney and cheese

My kids love it with syrup

Hubby likes to add a fried egg, cheese and tomatoe

But, I can imagine, any fruits, syrups, jams would all be amazing!

METHOD
Make up your bread the way it describes on the back of the baking mix packet

Now, do make your loaf tin smaller, like I explained above

Let your loaf cool down completely and make sure your heart cookie cutter fits your loaf. You could also try cutting it into slices by cutting your loaf through the top and not the conventional way from the sides!

Cut out as many heart shapes as you can, I did flip my heart over to get the most out of each slice and the baking mix!

Coat in your egg mixture, and fry until the egg is slightly browned!

Top with your favorite toppings!!

RNZ talks Flour and Dough baking mixes

 

When Ellie from rnz radio contacted me to ask if I would like to be included in an interview regarding small businesses, to say I was nervous is a very small understatement! Of course I agreed!

We spoke about my business Flour & Dough and how it came about, why I started making baking mixes and where my bread mixes ideas came from and how they tasted!

Being on rnz live was quite a treat for me, being able to talk about something that is mine, and something that I am proud of made the talk about artisan baking and artisan baking mixes so much more special!

Ellie from rnz radio was amazing to talk to and in the end we spoke way more than what we should have and allot more editing was done to get into the time frame than either of us imagined!

Thanks again for the time and effort you put into this!

Listen to rnz live here and hear how we talk baking mixes, bread mixes and just a good old chat!
