Cleochatra's Revoloopsie Rolls (home-made hamburger buns and more)

[hockeyfan8]

I wish I could go get some cream cheese!!! We are having some bad weather so I can't go out right now.

[haystar]

Ok...I know all I talk about are these rolls and specifically mini pizzas-

But I just wanted to tell anyone who seriously used to have a pizza addiction- MAKE these! All I put on them is some mozz. cheese, artichoke sauce, and dried oregano (SO NECESSARY- it really makes all the difference)....they are so amazing.

I'm eating some now with a little ranch dressing as dip-- this used to be such a bad binge food for me- now its healthy and acceptable and seriously..BETTER.

[CARBBABY]

Im making some this weekend. Cant wait...

[Patlaf]

I made my fifteenth batch of these last night and added a heaping tablespoonful of almond flour to the egg yolks, and YIPPEE, I got eight Cloopsies instead of the usual six. I had a meatloaf sammy for breakfast.

I have been using the flatout wraps to make "pizzas". Now I'm going to have to try it w/these! Of course, I'm gonna have to make another batch tonight cause I've only got 2 left.

hmmmmmm maybe I'll just put 1/8 tsp of garlic and some oregano into the mix. How are you cooking/baking them?

I bake the rolls regularly.....let them cool. Then, whenever I want a pizza, I just plop it back on the baking sheet, spoon some sauce on it, add the mozz. cheese, then sprinkle some dried oregano on it. I add garlic powder to my rolls instead of splenda so mine are already garlicy Then they go under the broiler for 2-3 minutes

I am soooo addicted to these rolls!!! I made six muffins and then made a loaf. The loaf looked really nice until it deflated, but that's okay because I it in half lenghtwise and had sub-sandwich!!!! These are so good. I'm out now, but will make more soon as I get home from work!!! I'm also going to try putting some cinnamon in another batch w/Splenda brown sugar. I bet they'll taste like cinnamon rolls!!!

I love this idea....now I can have pizza with the family.

In your bowl with the whites, you should be able to hold the bowl upside down and the whites shouldn't move at all.

PLUS..Take a scoop of the beaten whites and fold them gently into the beaten yolks..This will help you incorporate the yolks back into the bowl of whites. It lightens them up, so the folding will be easier and there won't be as much break up.

I use a spatula to "fold"..No stirring allowed..

I used one yesterday for a Burger King Whopper!

Other things I've used them for:
BLT
Homemade Bacon cheeseburger
Pizzas
and the Whopper yesterday

There are endless possibilities now.

I love these things.

I forgot about egg salad sandwich and a roastbeef, cheddar and horseradish with mayo sandwich

I seriously do not miss pizza at ALL. I haven't had pizza in my woe for a long time- either when I was doing lowcal or LC...they are such a great addition

Yup..they work really well in a toaster oven so you can watch them, but you can do them in a pop-up, too. They do burn easily, so set it on light.

Thank you, Carolyn! I'll try this on my next batch!

CarolynF if you're still reading this (or anyone who knows) - her parm cheese/ cheddar cheese/ garlic additions sounded interesting - how much of each can you add to the mixture ? ie I don't want to add too much and make it not "work". Garlic I could probably guess but if there's a measurement I'll take it!

[jacksmixedtape]

Great tip, Carolyn! I help my bowl upside down just like you said. Also incorporated the whites into the yolks first. Someone did that on food network. I also beat them in a bowl of ice-water since I forgot to chill the bowl.

Have my first batch in the oven! Forgot the Cream of Tartar, but I guess it doesn't make much of a difference. They look puffy so far! *crosses fingers*

I agree wholeheartedly with Haystar These make great pizzas!

[Rory8343]

I'm having flashbacks to the Sugar Cookie Tea thread that wouldn't die................

[Rory8343]

Had one with a leftover Italian Sausage with just a tad of tomato sauce...
Next going to try one with onions and peppers ala county fair style.....

Yum

[ljh150]

Ya'll are making me so hungry. I've got to get some cream cheese so I can try them out!

[jacksmixedtape]

Oh my, have to say that old tub of creme fraiche in my fridge is no longer safe now that revoloopsies have invaded! Just had a mexican pizza with blueberry cheese-filled shortcake. Another revoloopsie covered himself with almond butter and dove down my gullet before I could stop the little bugger!

Great recipe, Cleo. They remind me of black and white cookies--kind of a spongecakey texture. No egginess at all!

Wanna come cook for me? I keep having problems getting stiff..
the eggs whites that is! That blueberry cheese-filled shortcake looks so yummy!

[jacksmixedtape]

LOL, those darn egg whites are problematic for you too, huh? For my second try, I whipped 'em w/an electric hand mixer in a circular motion around the bowl till I saw "stiff peaks" on my beaters (3-5 minutes maybe?), and then held the bowl upside down to make sure they were stiff. I had a bowl of iced water under the bowl with the whites, like a double boiler (double freezer?). Then I added some fluffy whites into the yolk to make the impact less severe on the rest of the whites, and folded the yolk + little bit of white mixture into the whites very gently only 3 or 4 times. Just beat those egg whites for long enough. They're worth the blood, sweat, and tears.

[cleochatra]

I love the oopsie pizzas!



For you folks out of induction and on the nut and seed rung, don't forget to try artichoke hearts, alfredo, pesto, pine nuts, and fresh spinach leaves!

[rosethorns]

Your picture has sold me. I was scared to try revolution rolls 'cause of all the comments.

So I'm off to try this. Wish me luck.
