🌭 Carnivore Hot Dog Buns / Sub Rolls

Zero Flour • High-Protein • Keto & Carnivore Friendly

📝 Description

These carnivore buns are soft on the inside, lightly crisp on the outside, and strong enough to hold juicy hot dogs, burgers, or stacked deli meat. Made entirely from animal-based ingredients, they deliver the classic sub-roll experience without grains, sugar, or carbs.

🥄 Ingredients (Makes 4 Buns)

  • 4 large eggs, separated

  • ½ cup cream cheese (full-fat, softened)

  • ¼ cup collagen powder or unflavored gelatin (for structure & bread-like texture)

  • ½ tsp salt

  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (optional, for lift — omit for strict carnivore)

  • Butter or beef tallow (for greasing)

👨‍🍳 Directions

  1. Preheat Oven
    Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment and lightly grease.

  2. Whip Egg Whites
    In a clean bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

  3. Mix Yolk Base
    In another bowl, blend egg yolks, cream cheese, collagen/gelatin, salt, and vinegar until smooth.

  4. Fold Gently
    Carefully fold the whipped whites into the yolk mixture in 2–3 additions. Keep it airy.

  5. Shape Rolls
    Spoon batter into 4 long oval mounds (hot dog bun or sub shape) on the baking sheet.

  6. Bake
    Bake 18–22 minutes until golden and set.

  7. Cool & Slice
    Let cool 10 minutes. Slice down the middle like a bun.
