The Best Pizza Rolls I’ve Ever Had (Keto & Low Carb)
Greetings, fellow pizza enthusiasts and low-carb aficionados! Today, I’m about to divulge the secrets to the most drool-worthy, finger-licking, and guilt-free pizza rolls you’ll ever encounter. Yes, you heard it right – we’re talking about keto-friendly, low-carb pizza rolls that’ll make your taste buds do a happy dance while keeping your waistline in check. So grab your aprons and let’s dive into the deliciousness!
Now, before we jump into the recipe, let’s take a moment to appreciate the marvel that is low-carb living. Whether you’re diving headfirst into the keto lifestyle or simply trying to cut back on those pesky carbs, finding delicious alternatives to your favorite carb-heavy treats is a game-changer. And what’s more comforting and universally loved than pizza? That’s where these pizza rolls come in to save the day!
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- ¾ cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ cup pizza sauce (look for low-carb options)
- Your favorite pizza toppings (pepperoni, sausage, bell peppers, mushrooms – the sky’s the limit!)
Instructions:
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent any sticky situations later on.
- Melt and Mix: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheeses are melted and well combined. Pro tip: Don’t be tempted to eat the melted cheese straight from the bowl – save it for the pizza rolls!
- Add Dry Ingredients: Once the cheese mixture is melted, add the almond flour, baking powder, egg, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix everything together until you have a smooth, dough-like consistency. This dough is the magical foundation for our pizza rolls – low-carb dreams do come true!
- Roll it Out: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a rectangle, about ¼ inch thick. Don’t worry about achieving perfection – rustic pizza rolls have their charm!
- Layer on the Goodness: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Now comes the fun part – sprinkle on your favorite pizza toppings. Go wild and pile them on – just remember to keep it low-carb friendly!
- Roll it Up: Carefully roll the dough into a tight log, starting from one of the longer edges. Think of it as crafting your own delicious sushi roll, but instead of fish, it’s loaded with pizza goodness. Once rolled, pinch the seam to seal it shut.
- Slice and Bake: Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 1-inch sections. Place the pizza rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each one. Pop them into the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once they’re done baking, let the pizza rolls cool for a minute or two (if you can resist the temptation). Then, serve them up with a side of extra pizza sauce for dipping and watch them disappear faster than you can say “low carb.”
Congratulations, you’ve just created the best pizza rolls in town – and they’re keto-friendly to boot! With their gooey cheese, savory toppings, and low-carb goodness, these pizza rolls are sure to become a regular feature on your menu rotation.
