Found this on another low-carb diet website but it works perfect for my South Beach Diet! A wonderful bread substitute! Used it this morning to make french toast and if I didn't know it was wheat free I never would have guessed!

LOW-CARB BUNS

Time 40m

Yield 4 buns

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups almond flour, plus more as needed
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella
2 ounces cream cheese
1 large egg, beaten
1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Sift the almond flour, baking powder, paprika, onion powder and salt into a large microwave-safe bowl. Add the mozzarella and cream cheese and use your fingers to evenly distribute the cheeses. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Knead the mixture with your hands or stir with a rubber spatula briefly. Microwave again until the cheeses are melted and the dough looks smooth, 15 to 30 seconds more. Let stand until cool enough to handle, just a few minutes.
  • Add all but 1 teaspoon of the egg to the dough and knead with your hands to incorporate. Sprinkle the dough with extra almond flour if it looks too sticky.
  • Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Moisten your hands and form each piece into a slightly domed patty about 3 1/2 inches in diameter. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet, brush the tops lightly with the remaining egg and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
  • Bake until light golden brown all over, 12 to 16 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then carefully slice through the middles with a serrated knife.

"HAMBURGER" BUNS (ZERO CARB!)



These mock "Hamburger" buns are amazingly bread-like in texture (and taste!) and are suitable for all phases of The Dukan Diet! Once completely cool, seal them in a ziplock storage baggie or a tupperware over night. They will totally change their consistency, to something much more like bread - a softer texture that is nice and chewy. While warm they are crumbly and similar to cooked meringue - but don't let this fool you! Since the sides that were facing the pan are perfectly flat, you use these to spread things on, or make sandwiches, or even as a burger bun! My favorite is spreading cream cheese on both sides (like a sandwich) and stuffing with a freshly poached egg...delish!

Time 35m

Yield 2 halves/buns, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 whole large eggs (separated)
3 tablespoons low fat cottage cheese (or fat-free cream cheese)
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
2 teaspoons Splenda sugar substitute, granulated (or preferred artificial sweetener)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees (or 175 Celcius).
  • Separate your eggs making sure there is absolutely no yolk in the white mixture.
  • In a small bowl, mix together egg yolks, cottage cheese, and sweetener until creamy.
  • In a larger bowl, add egg whites and cream of tartar and beat the whites with an electric mixer on high until fluffy. You want this mixture to be well whipped and quite stiff - under mixing will result in a very runny mixture.
  • Carefully fold egg yolk mixture into the egg whites with a large spatula, until evenly mixed. Try not to over-mix, you don't want to loose the 'fluffiness' of the egg whites mixture.
  • Spray two cookie sheets with Pam (or fat-free cooking spray).
  • With a large spoon "scoop" the mixture into 10 even rounds on the sheets (about the size of the top-half of the McDonalds hamburger bun; roughly 3/4 inch thick and 4 to 5 inches across).
  • Place cookie sheet the middle rack and set timer for 20 minutes. Now you will need to watch them, because the cooking time may vary on any two batches. Basically, you want them to bake until they become nice and golden brown color (the color of a McDonalds bun).
  • Remove from the pans and cool on a wire rack.
