Low Carb Pizza Rolls are a delicious and satisfying alternative to traditional pizza rolls, perfect for those following a low-carb or keto diet. Made with a cheesy almond flour dough and filled with your favorite pizza toppings, these rolls are great for snacking or as a fun meal option!

Ingredients

For the Dough

• 1 1/2 cups almond flour
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 ounces cream cheese (softened)
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt (to taste)

For the Filling

• 1/2 cup pizza sauce (low carb)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup pepperoni slices (or other toppings like mushrooms, olives, or bell peppers)
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Timing

Making Low Carb Pizza Rolls takes about 15 minutes for preparation and 20 minutes for baking.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Melt Cheese: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
3. Mix Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Add the melted cheese mixture and the egg. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 2: Roll Out the Dough

1. Shape the Dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
2. Add Filling: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and pepperoni (or your choice of toppings) over the sauce. If using, sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.

Step 3: Roll and Bake

1. Roll the Dough: Carefully roll the dough tightly from one long side to the other, forming a log. Use the parchment paper to help guide the roll.
2. Slice the Rolls: Cut the rolled dough into 1-inch slices and place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
3. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 4: Serve

1. Cool Slightly: Allow the pizza rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving.
2. Enjoy: Serve warm with additional pizza sauce for dipping!
