The Best Pizza Rolls I've Ever Had (Keto & Low Carb)

Everything you adore about pizza, but completely keto in an easy-to-handle roll.

Keto pizza rolls are perfectly versatile. Vary your toppings to vary the taste. Choose a full range of savory AND sweet.


Dessert Versions

Spiced, flavored and sweetened cheese holds up well while baking. Flavored cream cheese makes a huge mess, so sub flavored ricotta instead.

Sneaky Veggies

These pizza rolls are a good way to sneak some veggies into your day.

Try thinly sliced onion, mushrooms, zucchini or summer squash (blot beforehand to remove excess moisture), riced cauliflower or broccoli, roasted red peppers, etc.


Ingredients:

Mozzarella keto dough:

  • 1 1/2 c Mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese
  • 1 whole egg
  • 3/4 c almond flour (sub 1/4 cup (4 tbsp) coconut flour)
  • sea salt, to taste


Pizza roll filling:

  • 2 c cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 20 olives, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, diced
  • 1/2 tsp oregano, dried
  • 1/2 c onion, diced
  • 6 slices ham, salami, or meat of choice
  • 2 oz pepperoni slices (about 28 thin round slices)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions:

Make the dough:
In a microwave-safe bowl, mix together Mozzarella and almond flour. Add the cream cheese and blend well.
Microwave on high 50 to 60 seconds.
Stir mixture, then microwave on high another 30 seconds. Add the egg and salt.

Assemble the rolls:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll dough out and slightly stretch it with your hands.
Mix cheddar, olives, onions, garlic and oregano together in a bowl. Spread cheese mixture on top of dough. Top with ham and pepperoni slices.
Roll dough into a log and cut into 8 pieces. Place rolls on a greased baking sheet and brush with olive oil.
Bake at 375 F for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven, and allow to cool on a baking sheet.
