Ingredients

Scale

Dough Base

  • 1 cup almond flour (or substitute coconut flour, adjust quantity for moisture)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup low-carb marinara sauce
  • 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni (or other keto-friendly meats)

Additional

  • Butter or olive oil (for greasing the baking sheet)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, eggs, shredded mozzarella cheese, and Italian seasoning. Mix thoroughly until a sticky, cohesive dough forms that holds together but isn’t too wet.
  2. Roll out the dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick, creating a flat base for your pinwheels.
  3. Spread the sauce and add toppings: Evenly spread the low-carb marinara sauce over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border clear around the edges. Layer the sliced pepperoni or your chosen keto-friendly meats evenly over the sauce.
  4. Roll and slice: Starting from the longer side, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Use a sharp knife to cut the rolled dough into approximately 1-inch thick pinwheels.
  5. Bake until golden: Grease a baking sheet with butter or olive oil and arrange the pinwheels spaced slightly apart. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and the cheese starts to bubble.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper when rolling out the dough to prevent sticking and aid in shaping.
  • Do not overfill with toppings to avoid messy slices and ensure even baking.
  • Fresh herbs or vegetables can be added to brighten the flavors if desired.
  • Monitor oven temperature as it may vary, to achieve a perfect golden crust without burning.
  • Allow pinwheels to cool for a few minutes after baking to help them hold their shape better.
