Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need
- Microwave or stovetop
- Mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Parchment paper
- Rolling pin
- 8-inch pie dish
- Oven
Ingredients
Dough
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 ounces cream cheese
- 3/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasonings
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic salt
- 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 2 eggs
Filling
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce (my recipe or Rao’s brand)
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese (sliced or shredded)
- 2 ounces pepperoni slices
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Melt the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese together on the stovetop or in the microwave for 2 minutes.
- Stir in the remaining dough ingredients. Wet your hands and mix well to form a dough.
- Roll the dough between two pieces of parchment paper to an 8 by 16-inch rectangle.
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
- Spread half of the marinara sauce over the dough. Layer the sliced mozzarella and pepperoni evenly on top.
- Roll the dough up and cut it in half, then slice into 12 pieces.
- Lightly spray an 8-inch pie dish with olive oil cooking spray and place the rolls inside. Top with the remaining sauce.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are browned.
- Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before serving, as they will be too cheesy to pick up immediately.
Tips for Success
Ensure your mozzarella and cream cheese are fully melted and combined for a smooth dough. Wetting your hands prevents the dough from sticking while mixing. Let the rolls cool slightly before serving to maintain their shape and texture.
Additional Tips or Variations
Feel free to experiment with different fillings like cooked sausage or sautéed vegetables for a unique twist. You can also add some crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
