Keto “Game Day” Deli Stromboli (Fathead Crust)
When a pizzeria stromboli goes keto… and nobody complains. Golden, garlic-buttered fathead crust, crispy edges, and layers of melty cheese with deli meats rolled tight and baked to perfection.
Ingredients
For the fathead dough
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- ¾ cup almond flour
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Pinch of salt
For the filling
- 6–8 slices mozzarella cheese
- 6 slices ham
- 10–12 slices pepperoni
- 8 slices salami
Topping
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsp grated parmesan (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a tray with parchment paper.
- Make the dough (fathead method)
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave 60–90 seconds until melted. Stir until smooth. - Add almond flour, egg, garlic powder, and salt. Mix, then knead with your hands until a soft dough forms.
- Place the dough between two sheets of parchment and roll into a rectangle (about ¼-inch thick).
- Layer the fillings
Add mozzarella slices first, then ham, pepperoni, and salami. Leave a small border around the edges. - Roll it up tightly like a jelly roll. Pinch the seams and tuck the ends under.
- Brush the top with melted butter mixed with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle parmesan on top.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, until deep golden brown.
- Let rest 5 minutes before slicing (so the cheese doesn’t run out too fast).
