Pinterest - Oopsie Bread

I think it was last week sometime when I came across this “pin” for Oopsie Bread on Pinterest.  It peaked my interest because I’ve started to try minimizing the amount of wheat/gluten in my diet. 



The recipe is really quite simple – just 5 ingredients.  Eggs, cream cheese, psyllium seed husk, salt, and baking powder.  I did have to make a special trip to Super Supplements to get the psyllium seed husk, but once I had everything, it was pretty easy to pull together.

My first batch was a bit of a failure, although still edible.  See, I tried to bake them at 150 degrees as the recipe dictated.  First off, my oven doesn’t even go down to 150 degrees, so I settled for 170 degrees.  But after nearly an hour, they still weren’t fully cooked and definitely did not look like the picture above.  At that point, I decided to check the recipe and realized my mistake.  150 degrees Celsius.  Um yeah, my oven operates on Fahrenheit and should have been set to 300 degrees.  Big difference.

Since the recipe was so easy, I decided to go ahead and give it a second try with the oven properly set at 300 degrees.  All in all, the second batch took about 40 minute to bake to our satisfaction.  They still didn’t quite look like the picture, but closer.



As for taste and whether it really is a good substitute for bread – the jury is still out.  Time will tell.
