Tortillas are also a good substitute for wheat bread. It can be made with corn. They are gluten-free and have high-fiber which makes them a great option for people who are sensitive to gluten. You can use corn tortillas in wraps, sandwiches, pizza, enchiladas, or with toppings like cheese and butter. To make corn tortillas you only need Mexican flour and water.
Lettuce or romaine lettuce are substitutes for wraps or bread. You can fill the lettuce with toppings like veggies or meat. The leaf can also be used as a wrap, to hold everything together. Also, they are extremely fresh and the calories are way too low than bread-based wraps.
One of the best ways to replace wheat bread is by baking Oopsie bread. It is easy to make and has low-carbs as well. All you need is some eggs, cream cheese, and salt to make a basic Oopsie bread. If you like you can add other ingredients as well. The recipe is as under:
Separate the eggs, with the egg whites in one bowl and the egg yolks in another.
Whip the egg whites together with the salt until it is stiff. You should be able to turn the bowl over without the egg whites moving.
Mix the egg yolks and the cream cheese well. Add the psyllium seed husk and baking powder (this makes the Oopsie more bread-like).
Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mix – try to keep the air in the egg whites.
Put 6 large or 8 smaller Oopsie on a baking tray.
Bake in the middle of the oven at 150° C (300° F) for about 25 minutes – until they turn golden.
You can eat Oopsies as bread or use them as a bun for a hotdog or hamburger. You can also put different kinds of seeds on them before baking them, for instance, poppy, sesame, or sunflower seeds. One big Oopsie can be used for a swiss roll: Add a generous layer of whipped cream and some berries. Enjoy.

The grains are sprouted before processing to keep the harmful nutrients to a minimum, which makes the bread easily digestible and far more nutritious.
There’s an added benefit of 0 sugar, too. However, it’s best to stay away from Ezekiel bread if you’re sensitive to gluten.
