Gather Your Ingredients

For the dough, you’ll need almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, apple cider vinegar, 1 egg, and a bit of salt.

You’ll also need a rolling pin to roll out the dough. I like using my adjustable rolling pin set to the blue size (which is 1/16th inch or 2mm thickness) to make it easy to get a nice equal thickness throughout the dough. This helps to get consistent texture to your keto stuffed sandwich.

Make the Dough

keto stuffed sandwich dough cut into fourths.

Don’t worry, this part is easy and only takes few minutes. Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl, then mix in the vinegar and egg.

If your dough isn’t coming together, add a smidge of water just a little bit at a time until it comes together.

Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces.

Roll the Dough

Prep your rolling station by laying out a large piece of parchment paper onto your work surface. Then grab one of the dough pieces, put it on the parchment paper, then add another piece of parchment over the dough ball.

Now roll out the dough until you have an equal thickness of 1/16th inch (2mm). I use this handy adjustable rolling pin to get perfectly consistent thickness throughout the dough.

While rolling the dough, try to make them into a shape that’s fairly equal on all sides. Circle, square, and rectangle all work – and it doesn’t have to be perfect.

Repeat this process of rolling the dough out into a fairly equal shape that’s 1/16th (2mm) thick for the remaining 3 dough balls.

Stuff Your Keto Stuffed Sandwiches

keto stuffed sandwich filling

For each piece of dough, fill one side of it with your choice of filling (usually a spoonful or two is all you need). I like to fill mine with cheese and pepperoni for a pizza stuffed sandwich. The hubby likes to fill his with ground pork and seasoning to mimic a pot sticker.

Pinch the keto hot pockets closed prior to cooking

Once you have your fillings in the dough, fold it over and then press it shut using your fingers or a fork (like how you would press the edges of a pie crust closed).

Fry Your Keto Stuffed Sandwich

Now that you’ve got your keto stuffed sandwich filled and pressed shut, it’s time to cook it. I prefer to fry mine in a pan with some butter. You could also opt to bake it in the oven, but I’ve never done this so I honestly have no idea on cooking temperature and time. If you bake one, let me know how it turned out!

If you choose to fry it like I do, add some butter (real butter! or other fat like coconut oil, ghee, or lard) to your pan and heat it over medium heat. Once the butter (or fat) is melted, add your keto stuffed sandwich to the pan and allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes. It’s done on that side once it’s golden brown.

Then flip the keto stuffed sandwich to the other side and allow it to cook for another 3-5 minutes. Wait for it to cook to a golden brown before removing.
