  • Mixing bowl
  • Spoon or spatula

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 1/4 cups Mozzarella Cheese, shredded  

• 4 tbsp. Almond Flour

 • 3 tbsp. Coconut Flour

 • 1 large Egg 

 • 1 tsp. Italian Seasoning 

• 4 oz. Ham 

• 3.5 oz. Cheddar Cheese 

 • Salt and Pepper to Taste

INGREDIENT NOTES:

Almond Flour

             Used for the low-carb dough base.

Shredded Cheese:

            Helps create a cheesy, melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Ham:

           Choose deli-style or cooked ham for easy filling.

Egg

            Adds structure and helps bind the dough.

Spices:

              Use garlic powder, oregano, and salt for extra flavor.

Cream Cheese

               Softens the dough and adds richness.

INSTRUCTION:

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a microwave or toaster oven, melt your mozzarella cheese. Heat for about 1 minute in the microwave, then in 10-second intervals, or bake in the oven for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, and your seasonings (salt, pepper, and an Italian blend seasoning).

Step 3: Once the mozzarella is melted, add it to the flour mixture and begin working it in.

Step 4: After about a minute, when the cheese has cooled slightly, add the egg and mix everything together. Use two utensils to help combine the dough.

Step 5: Once the dough is well combined and moist, transfer it to a flat surface lined with parchment paper.

Step 6: Place a second sheet of parchment paper over the dough and use a rolling pin (or your hands) to flatten it out.

Step 7: Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut diagonal lines starting from the edges of the dough toward the center. Leave a strip of dough in the middle, about 4 inches wide, untouched.

Step 8: Layer slices of ham and cheddar cheese along the uncut stretch of dough.

Step 9: Begin folding the dough over the filling, one section at a time, to cover the ham and cheese.

Step 10: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the stromboli turns golden brown.

Step 11: Slice it up and serve!

  • Customize Fillings
    Swap ham for turkey, pepperoni, or sausage for variety.

    Keep an eye on the stromboli while baking to avoid overbaking or burning the crust.

    Pair with marinara or ranch for dipping for extra flavor!

Refrigerator:

  •      Keep it in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.

Freezer:

  •    For longer storage, wrap the stromboli in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer bag. It can stay in the freezer for up to 1-2 months.

Reheating:

  • In the oven: Bake at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through.
