The Oopsie Roll
This recipe is a must for any new or longtime low carber. Bread is one of those high carb foods we are or in my case was used too and can be quite difficult to replace.
I gave up trying to replace bread as I felt it could not be done without carbs and stay close to the real thing.
Then I discovered the Oopsie Roll!
The Oopsie Roll is really simple to make and doesn't take long to whip a batch.
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon of Xylitol or equivalent sweetener of your choice (this is optional), especially for savory dishes.
A dash of salt
A pinch of cream of tartar
3oz or 85g Cream Cheese (full fat) Do not soften!
Preheat oven to 300F or 150C degrees.
Separate the eggs.
To the yolks add sweetener (optional), salt, and cream cheese to the yolks.
Use a blender or mixer to combine the ingredients together.
In a separate bowl, whip egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff (if you're using the same mixer, mix the whites first and then the yolk mixture). Using a spatula, gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the white mixture, being careful not to break down the whites.
Spray a baking tray with non-stick spray or use a silicon mat and spoon the mixture onto the sheet, making 6 mounds. Flatten each mound slightly or for a pizza base spread entire mixture evenly over sheet.
Bake for about 20-25 minutes in the upper part of the oven, keep an eye on the time because they will go dry and crumbly if baked too long.
For the Buns:- let cool on the sheet for a few minutes, and then remove to a rack and allow them to cool. Store them in a bread sack or a ziplock bag to keep them from drying out.
For the Pizza Base:- Leave on the tray and apply your pizza sauce and toppings just before you put it back in the oven to grill.
Makes 6 at about 85 calories a piece, >1 carb per (depending on sweetener used)

We don't make the buns often preferring to have burgers bun-less and eating with a knife and fork (how civilized) but these do work really well.
As an option for a pizza base this recipe is invaluable, we use it often.
Cream cheese will become a regular staple in your refrigerator.
