✅ Ingredients
For the Dough (Fathead Dough)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 oz cream cheese
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
For the Filling
- ½ cup ranch dressing (sugar-free/keto-friendly)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup cooked bacon, chopped
- ½ cup cooked chicken or pepperoni slices
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
For Topping
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp dried parsley
📖 Instructions
- Preheat oven: Heat to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make fathead dough: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt mozzarella and cream cheese together (about 1–2 minutes, stirring halfway). Stir in almond flour, egg, baking powder, garlic, and onion powder until a smooth dough forms.
- Roll dough: Place dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll into a rectangle (~12×8 inches).
- Assemble stromboli: Spread ranch dressing over the dough, leaving 1 inch around edges. Sprinkle mozzarella, cheddar, bacon, chicken/pepperoni, and Italian seasoning evenly over the ranch layer.
- Roll & seal: Starting from the long edge, carefully roll stromboli into a log. Pinch seam and ends to seal. Place seam-side down on prepared baking sheet.
- Brush & bake: Mix melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley. Brush over stromboli. Bake 20–25 minutes, until golden brown.
- Cool & slice: Let rest 5 minutes before slicing into thick pieces. Serve warm.
