Carol says
I love that sandwich, and I and the variations. If you want a 'to die for bread' that has height, is fluffy, tastes like normal bread' then pull up the bread video put out by (The Keto KING). He has 2 to videos(same bread, just one in the bread machine, and the other is a different technique as it will end up in a loaf pan in your oven. It's excellent. I alternate between Chaffle, and or his bread. Hope this gives you a much needed option. I agree though, whoever came up with chaffles was a genius.
