Here he takes Cleochatra's Revel-oopsie Rolls recipe, changes the Splenda to sugar, and posts it with a photo of actual bread.

thanks for posting that, Paula... gees is all I can say about the "yeast bread" photo... but the video tells all huh? Even the plate with the cloud bread wasn't made in that square pan... looks like mounded dollops of the mixture so they come out looking like cookies...

Most gluten free breads you buy in stores also have inaccurate pictures of the product.

That activates my crazy.

I've been seeing Oopsie Rolls all over the place lately. I used to make them decades ago when I first did Atkins 72. Seemed like a lot of trouble then. However, I did copy out the recipe from Oz--no sugar of course. In case I want to try this again. I won't expect to end up with a sourdough loaf.

I still don't understand how cream cheese for bread is a fair trade.

With all the recent bad press about sugar, how difficult would it have been to withhold this ingredient from the recipe??? Oz, not my favorite popinjay, boggles my mind frequently.

Just for the record, this "bread" was called "Diet Revolution Rolls" by Dr. Atkins in 1972, and they are still widely known as Revolution Rolls among Atkids.

Here's the recipe from Dr. Atkins' Diet Revolution (Bantam Edition 1973) page 225.

Diet Revolution Rolls
Makes 6 rolls

Pam spray
3 eggs separated
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
3 TBS cottage cheese
1 package Sugar Twin (I believe this was cyclamate at the time--now banned in the U.S.)

Preheat oven to 300 degrees
Separate eggs very carefully (make sure that none of the yolks gets into the whites)
Spray Pam on teflon cookie sheet. Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff but not dry. Fold in yolks, cottage cheese, and Sugar Twin. (Be extremely careful not to break down the egg whites. Mix for no more than a minute)
Place the mixture on the cookie sheet by gently putting one TBS on top of another TBS until each "roll" is about 2 inches high. Six piles.
Bake for about 1 hour.
Rolls should resemble delicatessen rolls.
Total grams: 3.1
Per serving: .5

There you are. RIP Dr. Atkins.

I never had any of the early Atkins books, but I noticed right away that the Oz recipe wasn't stolen from the Oopsie Recipe, mainly because the Oopsie recipe calls for 3 oz of cream cheese, not 3 TBSP.

Cleo mis-read the recipe for the Rev rolls (in whatever later incarnation called for cream cheese, rather than cottage cheese), and instead of only using 3 TBSP of cream cheese, she used 3 oz, which is twice as much, and hence the utterance of "Oopsie!" when she realized her mistake She thought she'd ruined them, but they turned out soft and pliable right out of the oven.

Even so, she decided to try again, making them according to the original 3 TBSP Rev roll recipe, and didn't like them as much that way.... so she switched to her Oopsie mistake as her standard recipe.

There are probably dozens of variations available for both recipes by now, and they are useful in many different ways.


But not a single one of them looks like a yeast raised loaf of bread made from wheat flour!

My goodness. This recipe has quite a history, depending upon where you came into the LC story. Sorta like the famous OMM--one minute muffin--and its endless names and variations. No matter how you make it, it's good! I'll have to see about Oopsie Rolls one of these days.

Best wishes

Especially since the recipe from Your Lighter Side didn't even include artificial sweetener.

That's just a variation she recommends for making Low Carb cream puffs!

Wow. Dr Oz being dishonest. This is my shocked face:

I suspect Oz did it to make it un-Atkins so he could say he did not steal the recipe from Atkins.

What, you mean the great and powerful Oz???????

The only reason there is sugar in bread is to feed the yeast.
