How to make Keto Pepperoni Rolls
  1. In a small bowl, add the yeast, inulin, and water. Mix well and set aside in a warm place to proof.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the almond flour and xanthan gum, mix well and set aside.
  3. In a nonstick saucepan, add the butter and mozzarella. Place over medium-low heat, until the cheese has fully melted to a pouring consistency, be sure to keep stirring to ensure it doesn’t start browning.
  4. Add the melted cheese to the almond flour, along with the proofed yeast, and egg. Mix until a sticky dough has formed. I recommend popping on a foodsafe glove and mixing by hand.
  5. Cover the dough with a clean cloth and place in a warm spot to proof for 1 hour.
  6. Divide the dough into 16 evenly sized balls.
  7. Roll each ball out, between 2 piece of parchment paper, into a round disc about 6mm/.025in thick.
  8. Layer slices of pepperoni in the center, around 4-8 depending how large your slices are, and roll up like a scroll, tuck the sides in as you go. Repeat with all the dough balls.
  9. Place the rolls, seam side down onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, and place in a warm place to rise for 30 minutes.
  10. Preheat your oven to 190C/375F.
  11. Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes until they are golden brown and puffed up.
  12. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before enjoying!

    • Hi Deb,

      You can get inulin from most health food stores or online. Inulin is a low carb substitute for sugar, which is used to feed the yeast and help it rise. I don’t recommend leaving it out, as, without it, the rolls won’t rise at all.
