Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 30 slices pepperoni slices
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 3 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, mix together 2 cups of almond flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoon of dried oregano, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.
Step 4
Beat 2 large eggs and add them to the dry ingredients, mixing well.
Step 5
Combine the cheese mixture with the flour mixture. Knead until a dough forms. This may be sticky, so incorporating everything might take a little effort.
Step 6
On a piece of parchment paper, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 7
Place 30 slices of pepperoni evenly over the dough, leaving a small border on all sides.
Step 8
Carefully roll the dough into a log, starting with the long edge, ensuring the pepperoni stays evenly distributed.
Step 9
Place the rolled dough on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.
Step 10
Melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and brush it over the top of the roll.
Step 11
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the roll is golden brown and firm to the touch.
Step 12
Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
