Gather these simple ingredients to create your delicious Keto Fathead Pizza Rolls. The key is the Fathead dough base, made with mozzarella and cream cheese, which forms a pliable and flavorful crust alternative. Don’t forget your favorite pizza sauce and classic pepperoni for that authentic taste.

• For the Dough:
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 3 ounces cream cheese
• ¾ cup coconut flour
• ½ tsp Italian seasonings
• ¼ tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp xanthan gum
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 2 large eggs
• Salt to taste
• For the Filling:
• ½ cup marinara sauce (low sugar)
• 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 ounces pepperoni slices
• Cooking oil spray

The quality of your ingredients can impact the final result, so use fresh where possible. Here are some tips for substitutions to make these Keto Fathead Pizza Rolls your own.

• Mozzarella Cheese: Full-fat, low-moisture mozzarella works best. Avoid pre-shredded if possible as it can contain anti-caking agents that affect melting.
• Coconut Flour: This is crucial for the dough’s structure. Almond flour can be substituted, but you may need to adjust the amount and it could result in a slightly different texture.
• Marinara Sauce: Look for low-sugar or keto-friendly marinara sauce to keep the carb count down. Alternatively, you can use crushed tomatoes seasoned with herbs.
• Pepperoni: Feel free to substitute with other keto-friendly pizza toppings like cooked sausage, mushrooms, olives, or bell peppers.
• Xanthan Gum: This acts as a binder. If you omit it, the dough might be more fragile.

Step 1: Prepare the Fathead Dough Base

Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F (200 C). In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and the 3 ounces of cream cheese. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until completely melted and smooth. This forms the sticky base of your Fathead dough.

Step 2: Combine and Mix the Dough

Add the coconut flour, Italian seasonings, onion powder, garlic powder, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt to the melted cheese mixture. Mix everything together with your hands or a sturdy spoon until a cohesive dough forms. It will be sticky at first, but keep working it until it comes together.

Step 3: Roll Out the Dough

Place the Fathead dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out into a rectangle, approximately 8 by 16 inches. Aim for an even thickness, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. This ensures consistent cooking for your rolled pizza.

Step 4: Add Pizza Toppings

Remove the top layer of parchment paper. Spread half of the marinara sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border along one of the long edges (this will help seal the roll). Sprinkle the 8 ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by the pepperoni slices. Distribute the toppings evenly for delicious Keto Fathead Pizza Rolls in every bite.

Step 5: Roll and Slice the Dough

Starting from the long edge with the toppings, carefully roll up the dough tightly, similar to making a cinnamon roll. Once rolled, use a sharp knife to cut the log in half. Then, slice each half into 5 equal pieces, yielding a total of 10 rolls. You should see the layers of dough and toppings.

Step 6: Prepare for Baking

Lightly spray a pie dish with cooking oil spray. Arrange the cut Keto Fathead Pizza Rolls cut-side up in the prepared pie dish. Top each roll with a small dollop of the remaining marinara sauce. This adds extra flavor and moisture to the finished rolls.

Step 7: Bake Until Golden

Place the pie dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown on the edges and the cheese is bubbly and melted. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes to prevent burning.

Step 8: Cool and Serve

Once baked, carefully remove the pie dish from the oven. Let the Keto Fathead Pizza Rolls cool in the dish for about 10 minutes before serving. This allows them to set slightly and makes them easier to handle. Enjoy your warm, cheesy, and satisfying pizza rolls.

These Keto Fathead Pizza Rolls are versatile and can be enjoyed in many ways. Serve them as a main dish or a delicious side.

• Pair them with a fresh green salad for a complete low-carb meal.
• Serve them as an appetizer at your next party or gathering.
• Enjoy them as a satisfying low-carb snack.
• Accompany them with a side of keto-friendly ranch dip or garlic butter.

Store leftover Keto Fathead Pizza Rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a toaster oven or a regular oven at 350 degrees F (175 C) for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through and slightly crisped. Microwaving is also an option, but they may lose some crispness.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can make the Fathead dough ahead and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Let it come to room temperature slightly before rolling.

Are these rolls really keto-friendly?

Yes, when made with coconut flour and low-sugar marinara sauce, these Keto Fathead Pizza Rolls are an excellent low-carb and keto-friendly alternative to traditional pizza rolls.

Can I freeze the assembled rolls?

You can freeze the unbaked rolls. Place them on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

What if the dough is too sticky?

If the dough is too sticky to handle, try lightly greasing your hands with oil or chilling the dough for about 10-15 minutes.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
3. Stir in coconut flour, Italian seasonings, onion powder, garlic powder, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt until a dough forms.
4. Let the dough cool slightly, then knead in the two large eggs until well combined and a pliable dough is formed.
5. On a lightly greased parchment paper or a silicone mat, roll out the Fathead dough into a thin rectangle, about ¼ inch thick.
6. Spread the low-sugar marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border.
7. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
8. Arrange the pepperoni slices over the cheese.
9. Tightly roll up the dough from one of the long ends to create a log.
10. Slice the log into 10 equal rolls.
11. Place the rolls cut-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
12. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

Ensure the marinara sauce is low in sugar to keep the carb count low. For a vegetarian option, omit the pepperoni and add your favorite chopped vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms. Allow the Fathead dough to cool for a few minutes before adding the eggs, as hot cheese can cook the eggs prematurely. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
