Low Carb Keto Stromboli
Ingredients
•1/4 cup unsalted butter•1 1/4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
•1 tsp garlic powder
•1 tsp red pepper flakes (this seemed like a lot to me, and I like spicy things. I used only 1/2 tsp and it was plenty!)
•1/4 cup finely ground pork rinds or "pork dust" (ground to a powder)
•2 tbsp coconut flour
•1 large egg, beaten
Filling:
•3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
•12 slices salami OR any thinly sliced Italian meats your little heart desires
Instructions
1.Preheat oven to 400F.2.In a small saucepan, melt the butter and set aside. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the mozzarella with the garlic powder and red pepper flakes. Heat until the cheese is melted and you can stir it with a fork. Alternatively, you can microwave the butter and cheese in heatproof bowls (I melted my butter in the microwave but did the cheese in a saucepan).
3.Add the ground pork rinds, coconut flour, egg, and melted butter to the melted cheese and stir until a smooth dough forms.
4.Grease a sheet of parchment paper and roll out the dough to a 14 by 8 inch rectangle (I did this on my Silpat and I rolled it out covered by a piece of parchment to make sure it didn't stick). Cut 1/2-inch wide, 2-inch long strips into the long sides of the rectangle, keeping a solid rectangle of dough in the center. These strips will be folded over the filling.
5.Place the shredded mozzarella and salami slices (or whatever meats and cheeses you decide to use) in the middle of the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border all around the solid portion. Fold strips over the filling so that the flaps overlap. Pinch the dough on the ends to seal.
6.Place the filled stromboli on a baking sheet (I kept mine on my silpat) and place in the oven. Bake 14 to 18 minutes, until light golden brown. Slice and serve with low carb pizza sauce.
