Ingredients

• 1.5 cups almond flour
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 units large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup sliced pepperoni
• 0.5 cup sliced ham
• 6 units provolone cheese, slices
• 1 batch egg wash (1 egg whisked with 1 tbsp water)
• 0.5 cup marinara sauce, for dipping

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until the cheese is completely melted and smooth.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix almond flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt.

Step 4

Add the eggs to the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Then, incorporate the melted cheese mixture. Knead with your hands or a mixer until a dough forms.

Step 5

Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper, and roll out into a rectangle approximately 12x8 inches.

Step 6

Layer the provolone cheese over the center of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Then, add the sliced ham and pepperoni on top of the cheese.

Step 7

Carefully roll the dough tightly from one long side to the other, forming a log. Pinch the seam and sides to seal the Stromboli.

Step 8

Transfer the Stromboli to the prepared baking sheet, placing it seam-side down. Brush the top with egg wash.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Allow the Stromboli to cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
