Instructions

The bread:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl.
2. Add the vinegar, boiling water, and egg whites to the bowl. Whisk the dough with a hand mixer for about 30 seconds. Don’t overmix it. (You want the consistency to resemble Play-Doh.)
3. With moistened hands, form the dough into 4 or 8 pieces of bread.
4. Bake on the lower rack in the oven for 50–60 minutes, depending on the size of your bread. They’re done when you hear a hollow sound when tapping the bottom of the bun.

Meat sauce:

1. Sauté onion and garlic in a large frying pan over medium-high until the onion is soft and translucent.
2. Add the ground beef to the pan and increase the heat a little. Fry the meat thoroughly.
3. Add the other ingredients and mix well.
4. Let simmer for at least 15 minutes on low heat until most of the liquid is reduced.
5. Taste and add more seasoning if needed.
6. Serve in low-carb bread with a lot of shredded cheese.
