Stromboli craving fulfilled – guilt free!

This keto stromboli recipe will let you have your stromboli without the guilt!  This stromboli is so delicious, you can’t even tell that it’s not made from traditional dough.  My family and I love this recipe so much, we eat it several times per month!  We hope that you enjoy it too!

Gather your ingredients

Only a few ingredients are needed to make this delicious stromboli, and they’re all staple items that keto dieters will have on hand.  You’ll need 2.5 cups of mozarella cheese, 4 tablespoons of almond flour, 3 tablespoons of coconut flour, 1 egg, 4 tablespoons of butter, your choice of seasoning, and filling.

Before you begin mixing the dough, go ahead and pre-heat your oven to 400F.

Make the dough

The dough takes a smidge of prep work and at first will feel like it’s never gonna come together like a dough.  Just keep working with it. In a few minutes, it will magically hold together and act like dough.

You’ll want to start by melting the butter in the microwave and setting it aside.

Mix your seasoning and cheese in a microwave-safe bowl and nuke it at 30% for about 2 minutes.  Take the bowl out of the microwave and add everything else (both flours, butter, and egg), then mix it really well.  You have to work quickly to get it combined well. As the cheese cools, the dough becomes tougher to stir.

If it becomes too tough to work with, nuke it in the microwave for another few seconds, take it out and stir.  Don’t do this more than once because it will begin to cook the egg.

Once you have your dough nice and combined, stick it in the microwave for 10 seconds to make it easy to spread.  Dump it onto parchment paper. Cover it with another piece of parchment paper, and roll it out into a thin rectangle shape.

Add the innards & finish it up

Now for the fun part – fill it with your favorite toppings!  I usually keep it simple with mozarella cheese (the same used for the dough) and pepperoni.  Keep the toppings in the center of the dough, running lengthwise.  The edges need to be empty so that they can be wrapped over the top to seal it.

Cut slits into the edges of the dough and carefully fold them over the top.  I use a pastry/pie cutter to make this process faster, but I’m sure a knife would work too.  Smoosh the dough pieces together to seal them.  Alternatively, you could roll it like a log using the parchment paper and then cut slits in the top once it’s sealed.

Bake it to perfection

Slide the parchment paper with stromboli onto a baking sheet, then bake for about 15 minutes at 400F.

Plate it up & gobble it down!

Once it’s finished baking, cut it into your desired serving size. (I usually split into thirds to feed my starving family or into fifths so that we have leftovers). Then plate it up and serve with warm marinara sauce!
