What is carbonaut bread?
Carbonaut bread is a low carb and keto bread that is 100% plant based and often enjoyed by those who enjoy a low carb lifestyle or low carb diet. It's also keto certified.
It is also a gluten free bread and comes in plain or seeded bread. They also make gluten-free cinnamon raisin bagels, hot dog and hamburger buns. The plain bread contains 2g net carbs per slice. In Canada, I buy the bread at Costco.
Only 5 ingredients
Simple and quick waffle sandwich recipe made with only these 5 ingredients:

- Horseradish Mayonaisse: creamy and tangy with the prominent horseradish flavor but toned down with the mayo.
- Roast Beef: thin slices of deli-style roast beef was used for this low carb bread recipe.

Steps by step instructions
How to make a carbonaut bread waffle sandwich?
STEP 1: Warm up your waffle iron. Place a slice of the carbonaut bread on a plate and spread on the horseradish mayonnaise.
Then top with a slice of provolone, roast beef slices, another slice of provolone and spread more horseradish mayonnaise on the top before placing it onto the provolone cheese.
STEP 2: Spread some butter on the top of the sandwich, flip it, and place it in the waffle iron. Now spread butter on the other slice of bread and firmly close the waffle iron.
STEP 3: Let it grill for about 3 minutes while pressing firmly on the waffle iron. You may want to place something heavy on the waffle iron to keep the lid closed firmly.
After 3 minutes lift the lid to see if golden brown, it may need a couple more minutes, depending on the type of waffle iron you have. I used a Dash Mini Waffle Iron.
Remove from the waffle iron once it has a golden outer crust. Slice in half and serve immediately.
Recipe tips
Press down firmly: the carbonaut bread waffle sandwich is stuffed with all the tasty ingredients, it is pretty thick. Therefore, you may need to press down firmly on the waffle iron to keep it down firmly.
Waffle Iron is Hot: the waffle iron can get very hot so if you are placing a heavy object on the top to hold it down firmly make sure it is fire resistant.
