How To Make Keto Reuben Sandwiches

These sandwiches can be made in two simple steps. I’ll show you how to make the bread first, then how to put together the reubens.

Make Keto Bread

• Prep. Gather the ingredients you’ll need to make bread: Wholesome Yum Keto Bread Mix, butter, eggs, and milk.

• Cream butter. Use a stand or hand mixer to cream butter until light and fluffy. This helps to incorporate air into the bread, forming desirable air pockets.

• Add eggs and milk. Make sure these ingredients are at room temperature or they will solidify the butter.

• Add Wholesome Yum Keto Bread Mix. Beat dry ingredients in gradually with mixer.

• Transfer. Spoon batter into a parchment lined loaf pan (this size is ideal) and smooth the top with a spatula.

• Bake. Bake bread until it rises and is golden on top.

Assemble Low Carb Reuben Sandwiches

• Prep. Let bread cool completely, then slice into 1-inch slices. Spread butter on each slice of bread (one side only!). Flip over so butter side is facing down.

• Assemble. Top the un-buttered side of bread with corned beef, cheese, sauerkraut, and thousand island dressing. Top with another slice, with the butter side facing up.

• Cook. Add sandwiches to pan and cover with a lid. Cook until cheese is melted, bread is toasted, and fillings are heated through.

TIP: Cook in batches so you don’t crowd the pan. If it gets too dark, turn down the heat.
