There is no low-carb substitute for cereal-grain flour. However,
approximately 20 years ago Dr. Atkins published as an adjunct to his
original "Diet Revolution" a companion cookbook which expanded the means
by which one could satisfy some of the more intense cravings for
cereal-grain based food. There is a recipe for Diet Revolution Rolls
which uses egg primarily (and is baked in roll shapes) and is about as
close as you are likely to come to a "bread". There are some recipes in
the original DR book itself, but he personally developed the rest of the
recipes in the DR cookbook.

I was fortunate enough to obtain his early books in paperback. They are
jewels in and of themselves and are only expanded upon with his books of
the last 10 years. Good luck in finding a copy of the cookbook; you
will be extremely pleased with all of its offerings. In sharp contrast
to all 'diet' books I have ever perused, every one of Dr. Atkins'
recipes *tastes* good -- no mean accomplishment and given short shrift
by all other diet gurus (which is why no one ever stays with them; it
becomes an act of penance not eating).
