Protein Sparing Bread GIZMOS
Have you ever been to the Minnesota State Fair?
I take my boys to the Minnesota State Fair every August and I love it! Craig stays home because he doesn’t like the crowds.
At the Minnesota State Fair, one of the favorite fair foods is the Gizmo! The Gizmo tastes like a pizza sub sandwich and I thought I should show you how we eat them with my protein sparing bread sub rolls!

Protein Sparing Bread GIZMOS
Ingredients
- 1 pound 95% lean ground beef
- 1 pound Butcherbox Italian Sausage
- 2 teaspoons Redmond Real salt
- 3/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce (I used Primal Kitchen sugar free)
PROTEIN SPARING BREAD SUB BUNS
- 12 large egg whites
- 2/3 cup unflavored egg white protein powder
- 6 tablesoons allulose
- 4 tablespoons Further Food gelatin
- 1 teaspoon Redmond Real salt
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar optional
OPTIONAL
- 8 slices mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- To make the gizmo filling, place the ground beef and sausage in a large skillet and sauté over medium-high heat, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Sauté until brown and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Drain off and discard any fat in the pan. Add the marinara and stir well. Allow to simmer on low while you make the protein sparing buns.
PROTEIN SPARING BREAD SUB BUNS
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper and spray with avocado oil spray. Set aside.
- Separate the eggs (save the yolks for another recipe like my keto ice cream, hollandaise, mayo or lemon curd), and place the whites into a large bowl or stand mixer. Add the egg white powder, allulose, gelatin, salt and cream of tartar if using and whip the whites for a few minutes until VERY stiff.
- Form the mixture into sub rolls on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until cook through and golden brown. Allow to cool completely before removing from the pans.
ASSEMBLY
- Turn oven to broil. Slice the cooled protein sparing buns open and place on the rimmed baking sheet. Fill with 1/8th of the gizmo mixture. Top with a slice of mozzarella if desired. Broil for 2 minutes or until cheese is melted and enjoy!
- Store extras in separate air tight containers in the fridge for up to 5 days. Can be frozen.

Which gelatin do you use?
I use this one: https://mariamindbodyhealth.com/gelatin/
I really enjoyed this recipe, it’s like Italian sloppy joes; and the “bread” held up. I used foil to help it keep it’s shape and put under the toaster broiler…yummy! My question is: have you found that the surface of the bread gets sticky? it stuck to everything until it was toasted, toasted a lot. I’m just wondering if perhaps initially I under baked it, or it needs egg wash or oil, or something to create a surface…and then storage, do you wrap left over bread in wax paper?
Thank you! Love the Gizmo, with or without the bread!
Allulose seems to make it more sticky like you mentioned. So I personally just leave it out. But alternatively you can store the bread slices in a sealed container with a paper towel lining each slice and that seems to help 🙂
